About Money Smart Week®
Money Smart Week® is a public awareness campaign to promote financial literacy across all age groups. Launched in 2002 by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, the program is now active in more than 45 states through national partnerships with the American Library Association and the Financial Planning Association.  More than 3,000 free, financial literacy programs are offered nationwide during Money Smart Week®.

Money Smart Week® Wisconsin began when the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions and the Governor’s Council on Financial Literacy adopted the program.  Each year hundreds of partners come together across the State of Wisconsin to hold Money Smart Week activities in their communities. The Milwaukee effort is supported by the My Money Help Line Education Coalition, and partners such as Consumer Credit Counseling Services of Greater Milwaukee, GreenPath Debt Solutions, Milwaukee Public Library, Social Development Commission, Urban Economic Development Association of Wisconsin, Inc. and WI Women’s Business Initiative Corporation.
