The ABA Education Foundation
Background Information

The ABA Education Foundation's mission is to help bankers make their communities better through financial education.  The Foundation operates two national financial education programs for bankers, Teach Children to Save and Get Smart About Credit.  It also publishes a monthly e-mail bulletin about financial education, advocates for banker-delivered financial education, such as in-school banks, and represents bankers within the financial education arena, specifically as part of the Jumpstart Coalition's Board of Directors.

Through its national programs, the ABA Education Foundation has helped more than 60,000 bankers teach personal finance skills to nearly 3 million children and young adults.  Founded and funded by bankers, the Foundation works closely with a Board of bankers and is a subsidiary of the American Bankers Association.  

The Foundation also sponsors a Consumer Information page, with information about banking services, personal finances and more.
