What is the Women’s Wealth and Equity Building Initiative?

Phyllis Wheatley Community Center seeks to close the racial wealth gaps for the African American community. This September, we are launching the Women’s Wealth and Equity Building Initiative to specifically respond to single, mother-led families' needs for opportunities to build wealth with expert, culturally appropriate financial education and advice.

Join the PWCC Women's Wealth and Equity Building Initiative for free financial literacy and wealth building education classes. The weekend-long course is followed by monthly support meetings, one-on-one coaching to develop a personalized plan to stabilize your finances and start to save for the future along with monthly savings support meetings provides a 2:1 savings match (up to $2,000 from PWCC per $1,000 saved per family – over one year)! This program is aimed at helping single, female heads of households with low or moderate income levels.

Participants in Phyllis Wheatley's Women's Wealth and Equity Building Program share their experiences.

Program benefits include:

Training and financial management courses from experts at BuildWealth Minnesota covering credit, budgeting, homeownership, savings, and 3 financial education sessions.
Savings match — when you reach your $1,000 savings goal, Phyllis Wheatley will provide a match of $2,000, deposited to your Bremer Bank savings account. All participants are eligible to open an account, regardless of your credit history thanks to this partnership!
The next cohort convenes in January.
