Description:
The purpose of this program is to help unbanked people open safe and affordable accounts when they enter or reenter the workforce by helping interested workforce development programs or large nonprofit employers identify and operationalize a banking opportunity within their program structures. In addition to monetary awards to support banking access integration into a workforce development/employment program, award recipients will receive technical assistance, including phone support and a site visit from the funding agency’s staff, and the opportunity to attend a Bank On conference organized by the funding agency. Eligible programs should have a payment to individual participants or employees that makes it appropriate for the participants to open and use safe banking accounts.
