摘要

The California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) has awarded nearly $2 million in CalMo-neySmart grants to nonprofit organizations throughout the state of California to support new and existing financial education and empowerment programs for unbanked and underbanked consumers. The second round of CalMoneySmart grants was announced by DFPI in April 2021, and received 94 grant proposals from state and national nonprofits by the end of the application period. A committee reviewed, analyzed, and scored each grant proposal on eligibility and effectiveness and recommended awarding grant dollars to 22 nonprofits.
