| Programs & Initiatives of the Foundation
Family Economic Success: This initiative began in May 2004 with a $10,000 grant from the Aspen Insitiute and the Annie E. Casey Foundation. This initiative focuses on bringing the tools to low-income individuals and families that will help them build assets and rise out of poverty. The “Campaign for Working Families” is the name of the initiative that is a coaliboration between key community partners like: United Way of Volusia/Flagler counties, Workforce Development Board, One Stop Career Centers, IRS, FDIC, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, SunTrust and more. The campaign provides: Money Smart Financial Education classes for families, free tax preparation, and connection to other community resources for working families.
We provide a key leadership role in this coalition. August 2005 the Annie E. Casey Foundation gave us a $12,000 grant to continue and expand this work.
If you have a desire to help in tax preparation, or education classes please let us know by filling in the volunteer form. We will be in touch with you asap.
