Saver Plus is a 10-month financial literacy and matched savings program that assists people to build savings for their own or their children’s education and in doing so strengthens their capacity to save.
As part of the program, participants receive:
- one dollar in matched savings for every one dollar they save, up to $500
- MoneyMinded financial training
- personal support and guidance from a trusted community organisation.
At the end of the program participants use their matched savings to purchase an education-related goal, which can include items like school uniforms, computers, and text books.
Benefits of Saver Plus
By joining the program participants will:
- receive a financial reward for their saving efforts - up to $500
- acquire new financial skills
- improve their ability to save in the long-term
- increase their financial confidence.
