learn about our history
Financial literacy is a subject that is not taught in most schools. Most people learn personal financial information from their family and friends. Unfortunately, most family and friends do the same. As a result, important financial decisions that affect our entire life are many times based upon the limited knowledge of the people we know, even though they have no professional background in financial education.
Urban Financial Literacy is an organization that was founded to address this issue. Urban Financial Literacy focuses on providing middle and low income families, especially in the African American community, with information from financial professionals who experienced and knowledgeable on “how money works”. Urban Financial Literacy partners with professional money coaches in order to teach advanced money principles to the average person to help them make more informed financial decisions.
The money coaches Urban Financial Literacy partners with follow up with their clients annually to review their financial plan to make sure it is still on track with their financial goals. All services are free and non-captive to any one financial institution so we can help families based upon their individual financial needs. instead of having to fit their needs into the products and services of a particular financial institution.
Urban Financial Literacy conducts free financial education workshops on various topics including: how to protect the things that are most important if they should be faced with a major illness; the Rule of 72; how to create tax free retirement income and other important money concepts. For those persons who would like help with their personal financial plans, we will assign them a personal money coach to meet with them for a free: “personal financial check up” (analysis of their current financial status) to help them develop a plan to meet their financial goals. Our ultimate goal is to help save 10,000 financial lives in communities throughout the country, through education and action. We believe that everyone should be blessed with God’s prosperity. The education we provide is for the young and the old (18 years -75 years).
Our motto is: “The difference between the wealthy and the middle and lower class is education. When you know better you can do better”
