The Financial Opportunity Corps RFP is now available, Points of Light

Posted by on March 31, 2013

Through generous support from Bank of America, Points of Light is excited to announce a new program to help low- and moderate-income households achieve financial stability: the Financial Opportunity Corps. Ten organizations will be selected to host two AmeriCorps VISTA members each to launch a financial coaching program in their communities.

Members will begin their service in August 2013 to help clients develop strategies to reduce debt, improve credit to receive lower interest loans, start saving for emergencies and build assets through one-on-one or small group interaction with volunteers. Training and support will be provided by Points of Light and Central New Mexico Community College. Sites will receive a grant in addition to two AmeriCorps VISTA members to support this program. This opportunity is limited to areas in which Bank of America is located.
