This financial education directory is for people who want to take control of their money and build their wealth. It is a resource guide for finding assistance with basic money management or resolving a difficult financial situation. Whether you have been a victim of a predatory lending scheme, are attempting to repair your credit, or are trying to manage your money, this directory will help. It will direct you to an organization that is right for your needs in a location that is convenient to your home or workplace.
Each organization listed here is part of the Financial Education Consortium of Southwestern Pennsylvania. This coalition primarily includes non-profit organizations, government agencies, and financial institutions committed to coordinating financial literacy efforts in southwestern Pennsylvania. The Consortium is hosted by one of the member organizations, NeighborWorks Western Pennsylvania.
Most of the organizations serve one or more of the ten counties in southwestern Pennsylvania, including Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Washington, and Westmoreland. A few cover all of western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, or parts of eastern Ohio.
Most of them do not charge for their services or simply charge a nominal fee. If you cannot find the right organization, contact the one closest to you, which will refer you to the most appropriate agency for your needs. Thank you for visiting our site.
