The report summarizes the outcomes of a pilot program that provided financial education workshops and a matched savings program for 97 Centro participants to start emergency funds in Dane County, Wisconsin. WISER trained Centro’s staff and leaders to share information, educate peers, and enlist volunteers to form an independent community support network to ensure the program’s sustainability.
The project was made possible by the TruStage™ Foundation, along with two local credit unions—Summit Credit Union and UW Credit Union—providing support to accommodate small deposits with access to low or no-cost accounts. The Latina Savings Project sheds light on how barriers to saving can be overcome by meeting women where they are (both literally and figuratively), sharing knowledge, and sparking motivation while providing easy opportunities to save. |
