Nonprofit Organizations Invited to Conduct FLLIP's Financial Education Program

Nonprofit organizations located in northern Illinois and interested in offering a financial education program should attend the Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law’s free capacity-building seminar in Sycamore, Illinois, on May 3. The daylong seminar will teach organizations how to write quality grant proposals, discover untapped resources, develop relationships with banks, and become the Shriver Center’s partners in delivering the Financial Links for Low-Income People (FLLIP) financial education program to low-income adults. The seminar will be held in the auditorium at the Center for Agriculture, University of Illinois Extension DeKalb Office, at 1350 West Prairie Drive in Sycamore.

At a bankers’ luncheon the next day financial institutions in northern Illinois will learn about how to support local financial education programs. Sponsored by National City, the luncheon will be held at Johnny’s Charhouse at 1950 DeKalb Avenue in Sycamore.

The FLLIP coalition aims to expand access to financial education and asset-building opportunities for low-income people. For more information, contact Hannah Avellone at 312.263.3830 ext. 239.
