Resources for Investment, Savings, and Economic Empowerment (RISE), the new NCNW financial literacy program!
RISE addresses historical and systemic challenges that have created persistent financial education disparities in the African American community. The NCNW RISE program:
-
Acknowledges historical context and builds trust
-
Creates safe spaces for learning and discussion
-
Provides relevant, practical financial education
-
Builds confidence in navigating financial institutions
-
Supports sustainable wealth-building strategies.
Why Does This Program Matter?
RISE matters because NCNW is dedicated to closing the wealth gap among African American women. To do this, we must empower American women and their families to achieve financial security and well-being through comprehensive financial literacy education. With this program, it is our mission to deliver engaging and accessible financial literacy education that equips members with the knowledge and skills to manage their finances effectively, build wealth, and achieve their financial goals.
