Mission Statement
The United Way Financial Stability Initiative was created to help low-income individuals and families increase their income in order to meet their basic needs, as well as save and build financial assets.
Description
The United Way Financial Stability Initiative helps working families
1. Increase income through the Free Tax Preparation Campaign which aides low-income families by providing free income tax preparation and connecting families with other services.
2. Build savings by promoting the US I-Savings bond and screening families for public benefits like Basic Food and Health.
3. Gain and sustain assets through the Individual Development Account (IDA) Initiative. The IDA Initiative provides matching savings accounts designed to help working families save and purchase their first home, start a small buisness or go back to school.
