These workshops are free thanks to grant funding—and your help makes it possible to keep them that way.

As part of the grant requirements, we ask all participants to complete a short demographic survey when registering. This information helps us better understand who we’re reaching and ensures we can continue offering free financial education to those who need it most. Your participation in the survey helps us keep these resources available to the community.
