Saver Plus Program

Saver Plus is a free, financial education and matched savings program that can help families reduce the financial pressures associated with school costs, by providing $500 in matched savings.

Meet our recent participants, Mariya who is a single parent and mom of two school going kids, serves as an inspiring example of how, Saver Plus can make a difference. 

As a single parent adjusting to her new circumstances, Mariya initially found saving nearly impossible. 

Through Saver Plus, she not only learned to budget effectively and set financial goals but also developed lifelong skills such as managing credit and understanding super contributions.

Today, she describes the peace of mind she has gained as "priceless."

And now is a great time for parents to join the program and, set for back to school .

Through the program:

• Participants save up to $50 a month for 10 months.
• Their savings are matched dollar-for-dollar (up to $500) to support education-related costs, such as school uniforms, books, laptops, or extracurricular fees.
