While this is not specifically a grant related to Community Development, it is a grant/program to help people understand banking terms and asset management better. I would definitely be interesting in hearing about other programs/grants like this as well as banking programs/grants related to home ownership for people with disabilities.

Deadline: July 26, 2004

The JPMorgan Chase Foundation is accepting applications
for the 2004 Financial Literacy Grants Program. The
program is designed to help young people, adults, and
individuals with disabilities understand the basics of
banking, credit, saving, spending, and investing in order
to better manage their financial lives, build wealth, and
benefit from financial services. The JPMorgan Chase
Foundation has partnered for this program with Working In
Support of Education (W!SE) ( http://wise-ny.org/ ), a
nonprofit organization with a mission to promote financial
education.

Funding will enable nonprofits, school districts, and
government agencies to create financial literacy training,
services, or products for distribution to school-based,
after-school, youth entrepreneurship, and work force
development in low-and-moderate income communities.

The program is focused on financial literacy efforts that
have an impact on a large targeted audience, build
capacity, and/or generate awareness through one of the
following: expansion and leverage of programs, products or
materials; professional development for teachers and/or
trainers responsible for teaching personal finance; and
innovation through new products, materials, programs, or
services.

To be eligible for this program, organizations must have
IRS 501(c)(3) status and provide services in the
geographic areas served by JPMorgan Chase.

See the JPMorgan Chase Web site for complete program
guidelines and the list of eligible communities.
