WASHINGTON–The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection is seeking financial institutions, social service organizations and others to apply to be part of organizations in 2018 that utilize its “Your
Money, Your Goals” financial empowerment tools.
The goal is to better serve economically vulnerable populations.
The Bureau’s Office of Community Affairs said it is looking for approximately 40 organizations to deploy its toolkit, issue-focused booklets, and companion guides to help people build financial well-being.
“The toolkit is designed for use in organizations that rely on staff or volunteers to coach, counsel, or mentor the people they serve,” the Bureau said in a statement.
The BCFP said it is specifically seeking to partner with organizations that serve economically vulnerable populations in equipping frontline staff and volunteers to introduce financial capability topics in their meetings with those they serve.
Applications and related materials for the 2019 “Your Money, Your Goals” cohort should be emailed to YourMoneyYourGoals@cfpb.gov by Oct. 26 with the subject line “Your Money, Your Goals 2019.”
The BCFP said it will host a webinar on the application process Sept. 27 at 3 p.m. ET; to participate, email YourMoneyYourGoals@cfpb.gov to RSVP.
