Veterans for Financial Literacy

The Foundation is also proud to support veterans! Studies have shown that veterans can have difficulty adjusting to civilian life, leading to severe problems like joblessness, homelessness, and indebtedness. The goal of this program, although similar to our signature “SMART MONEY” program, is to develop effective programming specifically for veterans who are entering or have entered back into society. Through instruction, veterans will learn how to manage their debt, create budgets, establish savings goals, understand how credit works, and more.
