We welcome HSBC, “The world’s local bank,” to AnewAmerica’s community! This May we were awarded the 2006 HSBC North America-Financial Education Grant. Their generous contribution will go toward the implementation of our Family Assets: Community Wealth program over the next year.

            Because of HSBC’s contribution AnewAmerica will implement a series of educational seminars based on our signature formula for economic sustainability: financial literacy, Savings Clubs, homeownership, and credit information. Participants learn how changes in their daily lives can effect their long-term well being. Client Ana Vilanova learned through her financial literacy course that by giving up smoking she could save up to $300 per year! These savings lead to the opening of her first bank account and an increase in business capital.

            Family Assets has been serving low and moderate income familiies in the Bay Area region of California since 1999. The program strengthens the long term financial sustainability of working families that face unique barriers due to educational, cultural, and linguistic differences. It has a strong record of enabling new American participants to learn about the value of healthy financial planning and behavior to meet their dreams of long-term economic stability.
