Financial Capability Integration
At Prosperity Now, we work with community-based organizations and human services agencies to help them design and embed programs and services that can improve families’ financial lives into their existing programs.
Innovative social service providers in both the nonprofit and government sectors have embraced the idea of coordinating access to financial capability services as a way to improve outcomes and enhance the financial well-being of their clients. Evidence from these service providers shows that embedding such financial capability strategies – helping families access financial information, connecting families to safe and affordable financial products and services, building savings and wealth, and teaching them to protect themselves in the financial marketplace – boosts programmatic outcomes.
