Youth Financial Literacy Program Kicks Off Monday

The Future Fund is a long-term savings account established by the M&M Area Community Foundation.  The program is designed to encourage hope, build savings, assist with career training and post-secondary education expenses and increase financial literacy among area youth.  All kindergarten students enrolled throughout Marinette and Menominee Counties, as well as home-school and virtual school students, will have a $50 deposit-only savings account established by the Community Foundation at a financial institution in their community.  Participating financial institutions include Integra 1^st Federal Credit Union, Peshtigo National Bank, mBank, Nicolet National Bank, Delta County Credit Union and Stephenson National Bank & Trust.  Future Fund accounts will grow by additional deposits from the Community Foundation during the students’ K-12 school career as well as interest earned on the accounts.
