United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County Receives $150,000 Grant for Financial Education Programing

MILWAUKEE (February 27, 2015) United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County has been awarded a two-year $150,000 grant as part of the Financial Education in Your Community initiative from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Investor Education Foundation and United Way Worldwide.
The Financial Education in Your Community initiative provides community-based financial education for working individuals and families. “The partnership between United Way and La Casa de Esperanza, along with the grant from the FINRA Foundation, ensures that the people in need of financial literacy services are on the right track to not only improve their financial situations, but also to be more likely to secure safe and stable homes and good health,” said Nicole Angresano, vice president of Community Impact, United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County.
Two-year grants were competitively awarded to 12 local United Ways and other non-profit community groups to identify best practices for helping low-wage people take action toward increased financial stability.
