            Saving Circle 

            A program that helps low income individuals and families save for needed assets while building money management skills.

            How does it work?

            Participants receive $3 for every $1 they save. $250 saved within a period of 6 months qualifies for $750 of matching funds for a total of $1000 that is used to purchase an asset goal.

            Participants can use their savings for the following goals:

            • Furniture

            • Computer

            • Education or Training Courses

            • Registered Education Savings Plans

            • Ability Supports
