What are the best models of financial empowerment for church leaders engaged in social ministry? Financial empowerment—which moves beyond meeting immediate needs to undergird the whole person—includes training in budgeting, saving, spending, managing risk and giving, but also policy concerns such as student loan debt, for-profit universities, payday lending and a fair minimum wage. This project involves conducting on-site visits and filming interviews with five organizations that offer creative models for financial empowerment: 1) Brightpeak Financial, a faith-based not-for-profit that provides financial education for young Christians, 2) Center for Responsible Lending, an organization that fights predatory lending practices, 3) the Virginia United Methodist Credit Union, which works with congregations to make small dollar loans to economically strapped individuals, 4) the National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders (NALCAB), an association of community development organizations that serve Latino communities nationwide, and 5) Circles USA, which matches low-income families with middle-class volunteers who help with budgeting, advice and emotional support. The result: five video shorts (4-5 minutes each) will be posted online on the Faithful Citizen website and distributed to national and regional church offices via email.
