Its ten components span goal setting, financial planning, budgeting, debt management, savings and investments, retirement planning, homeownership, insurance, estate planning, and entrepreneurship.

Impact Stories

The difference our programs make

Stories from scholarship recipients, program participants and community partners.

The scholarship from this chapter covered the gap my financial aid didn't. More than the money, the sorors checked on me every semester until I walked across that stage.

Their health fair brought 28 vendors into our neighborhood in one morning. Families who had not seen a provider in years got screened that day.
