Who We Are

Project GREEN (Grassroots Economic Empowerment Network) empowers financial capability in our community and implements advocacy initiatives that tear down systemic barriers to economic success.

Our Vision

Turning everyday people into money heroes. We define a money hero as someone who is pursuing their own financial goals and helping others to do the same.

Our Mission

Helping families rewrite their financial legacy. We move consumers away from asset-reducing products and practices – like payday lending – and toward asset-building tools and life-changing financial education.

Making a Difference for Our Community - and with Our Community!

Here’s what we’ve been up to…

Over 100 people have saved $500! (That is over $50,000!) They are 500 Strong! By the time you read this, we will have over 100 participants who have saved some of their own money, and Project GREEN has matched with either $100 or $200 (depending on when they participated). These households will not have to go to payday lenders when a financial emergency arrives.
Over 100 people have completed our dfree 12 Steps to Financial Freedom. One of our participants stated that she found more than $500 a month in her budget that she was spending that she did not have to spend! That’s real change!
Fathers are having their on-time Child Support payments reported to the major credit bureaus! One father informed us that he now qualifies for an apartment complex that previously denied him because his credit score has gone up more than 40 points in two months! We have more than 50 prospects in our hopper to add more to this number.
…and so much more!

We are making real change in our community. This will result in asset building, debt reduction, and increased economic security. And, we would love to invite you to a part of what we’re doing. One way you can do that is to support Project GREEN financially. Any and every gift helps. We are once again participating with GiveButter’s giving promo - this time for Giving Tuesday.
