We know that managing and saving money can be hard, especially while living on a low income. Momentum has been supporting Calgarians to manage their money and build ongoing saving habits for more than 20 years. We can support you to start saving your money and working towards your financial goals.

Matched Savings programs are asset-building programs that support you to learn financial literacy skills and for every dollar you save in the program, Momentum matches it at a ratio of 3-1.

How does it work?

Save money and build a habit

• Build the habit of saving by depositing up to $50 each month in your own bank account.
• We support you to achieve your savings goals and keep you accountable.

Learn in class and manage your money

• Come to interactive and non-judgmental financial literacy workshops with people in similar situations as yourself.
• Together, learn about budgeting, credit, debt management, assets, and other important topics.

Earn matched savings and put it towards your future

• For every one dollar you save, Momentum matches it times three!
• Use your combined savings to improve your future through assets like education, tools for work, RESP, RDSP, housing, and more.
  

In a five-year reach back survey, 92% of our program graduates said they are still saving money on a regular basis. On average, participants walk away saving $110 every month.
