Empowering Financial Wellness Program
What We Do
Our mission is to empower everyone, including limited income households and community educators, across Utah to make informed financial decisions and improve financial wellness through (1) developing innovative resources, (2) offering timely educational opportunities, and (3) increasing awareness of personal finance best-practices.
Our Vision
We see a future of increased personal financial wellness for all Utahans, one where residents are not limited by resources, but are capable of making smart, day-to-day money decisions through planning, saving, and reducing debt to achieve better financial outcomes.
