The California Coalition for Financial Empowerment is a new regional initiative that will bring together government agencies, financial institutions, nonprofit organizations, and community leaders. Our mission is to build a coalition that develops and implements collective solutions to consumer financial protection/inclusion challenges.
We are excited to launch our first regional chapter partnerships serving Fresno, Kings, Madera, and Tulare Counties. This chapter will serve as a platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and capacity building to engage unbanked/underbanked communities in the Central San Joaquin Valley.
By cultivating partnerships at the regional level across the state, we aim to foster economic mobility and expand generational wealth-building opportunities for underserved populations, creating a financially empowered California where everyone can thrive.
