Meet Our Community partner CalKIDS

CalKIDS is a program from the
State of California that funds up
to $175 for eligible newborns and up to $1,500 in free money for eligible low-income public school students to save for college and career training.* 

Our collaboration aims to bring financial literacy education to underserved communities, specifically focusing on areas known as "banking deserts."  These areas often lack bank branches or ATMs, making it challenging for community members to manage their finances effectively. As a result, many individuals rely on alternative financial services, which can be costly and less secure.
