Recruiting Organization: My Money Workshop

We are looking for a grant writing expert to help us write several private and government grant applications. We need funding to expand our highly effective, well-designed financial education workshops to underrepresented and underserved communities.

MMW is a premier, sought-after financial literacy provider with a proven track record of enabling our community members to obtain the tools, resources, and strategies to implement a lifelong plan for financial success.

Since 2009, MMW has served over 25,000 participants through over 1,100 workshops in the most socioeconomically challenged neighborhoods in New York City. MMW created a holistic, customized financial literacy program to fit our participants' real needs. Our financial literacy program aligns with the National Standards for Personal Financial Education.

As you know, learning about financial literacy is an indispensable life skill. Understanding and using financial skills such as money management, budgeting, and investing is especially crucial due to our economic circumstances.

The deficit in financial literacy among residents of New York and the nation has been recognized by key stakeholders. In 2022, New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli reported that a recent audit showed that 2.5 million New Yorkers each owed over $37,600 in federal student loan debt in 2020, slightly more than the national average, and 11.5% of older adults live in poverty, compared to 9.7% nationally. The NYS Department of Education does not offer a statewide financial literacy program.

Why do we exist?

Families in New York State need to be made aware of these resources due to a lack of financial education. Our mission is to help teens and adults make financial decisions that positively impact their futures and ultimately improve their communities.
