Do you serve low-income residents? Are you looking for strategies to improve your clients’ financial success? Consider joining the Indiana Financial Capability Corps (IFCC)!

Through the IFCC, Prosperity Indiana will place AmeriCorps members with organizations around the state to strengthen their capacity for improving the financial capability of their clients. Members will assist their sites with assessing clients’ current financial capacity and assessing the capacity of the organization and its partners to meet client needs. These assessments will allow the member and service site staff to identify gaps in programming and opportunities for improving intake, referrals, and other operational practices to connect residents with appropriate services.

Current IFCC members are assisting their organizations with a wide range of activities, including

• Organizing classes for affordable housing residents to learn financial literacy skills
  
• Developing referrals and resources for VITA site participants
  
• Surveying housing authority residents to identify their financial capacity needs and priorities
  
• Coordinating partners in a new collective impact initiative to align resources for clients and collectively track outcomes
  

Your organization does not have to offer financial services to participate in the IFCC. If you serve low-income clients and are interested in connecting them with resources to improve their financial literacy and capacity, you can benefit from this program!

The IFCC is now recruiting service sites interested in hosting AmeriCorps members completing 24 weeks of service before August 10. Looking for a shorter-term member placement? Contact Rachel Mattingly at rmattingly@prosperityindiana.org to discuss your program goals, as shorter terms may be available. Interested organizations should fill our our service site application form.
