Our contribution to these great organizations provides a significant impact in changing people’s lives by teaching them the skills for financial stability. Creighton University’s Financial Hope Collaborative The Financial Success Program funds financial education and coaching for single mothers in the Omaha metro area. These women participate in a study that works to establish a link between financial stability and improved health outcomes. Previous outcomes from the Financial Success Program include: higher incomes based on increased education levels; reduced demand for social service programs; improved credit scores leading to safer housing and better jobs; and diminished school mobility as children get to stay in their schools due to reductions in utility shut-off notices and evictions.
