Matched Savings Program Success
“We were never taught about our finances. I was living paycheque to paycheque, no savings, nothing to fall back on. I feel like I have a better understanding of my finances. I’m not stressed out and I feel safe now.” – Jacklyn In a five-year reach back survey, 92% of our program graduates said they are still saving money on a regular basis.
“I had a really bad habit of spending money burning in my pocket. Momentum really helped me, because I’m no longer spending because I can spend.” – Rain
On average, participants walk away saving $110 every month.
