Smarter Savings Association

Smarter Savings Association is a membership-based organization dedicated to building stronger financial habits through accessible, hands-on education. Their programming spans free online resources, workshops, and webinars for adults, as well as classroom-based budgeting and savings curricula for K–12 students — including partnerships like First Grade Futures with the DC College Savings Plan. For credit unions, Smarter Savings Association offers a ready-made source of financial education content and a values-aligned association that can support FOM expansion strategies.

Best fit for credit unions that are:

• Pursuing FOM expansion through an association-based charter and looking for a values-aligned association to add to their field of membership
• Mission-focused and committed to demonstrating tangible community impact
• Looking to extend financial education resources to members, families, and the broader community
