The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are joining forces to provide financial empowerment opportunities for people with disabilities. The CFPB and the FDIC will provide Your Money, Your Goals and Money Smart tools and training to up to 30 organizations across the country that serve people with disabilities. This is not an opportunity for a grant, contract, sub-contract, or funding. This is an opportunity for public and private organizations or entities to receive consumer education materials and training for staff to integrate financial empowerment and capability strategies into their existing service delivery model.
