Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund
The CFE Fund helps mayors with strategies developed for cities … by cities.
Cities and mayors are uniquely positioned to deliver large-scale, high-quality financial empowerment services. The CFE Fund provides both funding and focused technical assistance to mayors and their teams to help them embed systemic financial empowerment programs and policies into city services to improve individual and family financial stability.
Municipal financial empowerment strategies span four key disciplines:
Saving to weather financial shocks — and also building and preserving assets to grow families’ futures — are critical components of financial security and wealth.
Accessing a safe, affordable account is key to joining the financial mainstream and keeping earnings secure by saving.
Cities have unique, powerful opportunities to protect residents and their assets from predatory practices.
Professional financial counseling and coaching can tangibly improve household financial stability, especially when integrated into social services.
In cities across the country and internationally, the CFE Fund is helping government leaders embed financial empowerment strategies into municipal infrastructure.
