Message from the Executive Director
2020 will be marked as an unprecedented year in human history. The Covid-19 Pandemic, the unparalleled economic crisis, and high unemployment numbers in the US amplified the urgency of fulfilling ICMM’s mission of helping individuals build a sustainable financial future.
In ICMM’s brief history, 2020 has been a productive year. Following landscaping the needs and gaps in the field of consumer financial education, we made strategic decisions on:
- Selecting the targeted populations that have significant needs in building financial health: Low & Moderate Income Older Americans and the US Teenage population
- Choosing the partners with proven experience and recognized as thought leaders
- funding the projects that apply innovative technologies and diverse research methodologies
The initial results of the projects funded with the ICMM grants are very encouraging and demonstrate great potential. As we are entering into the year 2021, we are confident that our grant projects will further shed light on improving Americans’ financial lives and we remain committed to our mission and services. We want to express our appreciation to our partners and the grantees for their excellent work and cooperation.
