$ave, Match, $pend

Overview

The Save, Match, Spend Program assists women living on low incomes in overcoming barriers to achieving financial security, regardless of their circumstances.

Participants attend ten weekly classes over the course of ten weeks to learn about financial literacy. Upon completing the Empower U course, a volunteer financial coach will assist the participants in identifying, planning for, and achieving their set goals. Participants will receive a $2 match for every $1 they save (up to $250), which can fund specific financial goals.
