PRIORITY

Economic Opportunities

Programs and information to enable residents to manage their finances effectively and grow their wealth.

Our Challenge

Mid Southerners make poor financial decisions because they do not have adequate financial information and training. This limits residents’ ability to acquire wealth and creates a generational cycle of poverty.

Our Opportunity

The Foundation for the Mid South will use financial competency and asset building programs to improve the financial stability of approximately 300,000 households in the region.

Our Strategy

We provide programs and information to enable residents to manage their finances effectively and grow their wealth:

Financial Competency

Giving individuals and families the tools they need to make smart financial decisions.

Asset Building

Assisting families to accumulate and preserve long-term productive assets, such as homes, education and businesses.
