These grants are made possible through a partnership between the Reference and User Services Association (RUSA), a division of the American Library Association (ALA), and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Investor Education Foundation. Grant
funds support library efforts to provide users with broad, unbiased financial education resources. Now in its eighth year, this educational partnership has awarded $8.2 million in grants to 111 public and community college libraries and library networks since
2007.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to and understanding of financial information. The programs target a diverse collection of patrons—among them youth, adults, seniors, families, immigrants and low-income individuals—using various technologies, traditional classroom formats and one-on-one education.
Several programs partner with community organizations such as schools, universities, community centers and governments in the educational process, expanding the impact of the program. Participants will ultimately acquire information empowering them to make
smart financial decisions for both long-term investing and day-to-day money matters.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
