Webinar: Moving Beyond Financial Education: A Grantmaker’s Guide to Investing in Impactful Financial Capability Programs
For decades, we believed in Francis Bacon’s declaration that “knowledge is power” when it comes to increasing financial health. Now we have ample evidence that financial education alone is not powerful enough to change behavior. So, what works? Join us, along with MetLife Foundation and Common Cents Lab for a one-hour webinar, Moving Beyond Financial Education: A Grantmaker’s Guide to Investing in Impactful Financial Capability Programs, on April 11, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. ET. / 12:00 p.m. CT / 10:00 a.m. PT to learn how to identify, assess, and invest in interventions that are designed intentionally to shift financial behaviors using behavioral economics principles. Learn more about:
- How to identify, assess, and invest in interventions that are designed intentionally to shift financial behaviors using behavioral economics principles;
- What the latest research indicates is effective;
- How to assess the efficacy of financial capability programs; and
- Insights that will help you responsively and responsibly invest in financial capability programs.
Candid analyses from two leading nonprofits will be shared from Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA) in San Francisco and Harmony Neighborhood Development in New Orleans on which funder actions were helpful, and which were not, to their program development process.

Evelyn Stark, MetLife Foundation Wendy De La Rosa, Co-Founder and Principal, Common Cents Lab Lucy Arellano, Director of Asset Building Programs, Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA) Katherine Johnson, Executive Director, Harmony Neighborhood Development
