About this grant
This grant enables the Corporation for Enterprise Development to develop and promote state and federal asset-building policies for low-income Americans. Given bipartisan interest in savings strategies, a key objective of this project is to translate legislative interest and support into federal and state policies that create savings incentives and opportunities at scale over the long term. To realize this goal, the grantee will engage in policy development, policymaker education, coalition building, strategic communications, research, and technical assistance and training efforts. The Corporation for Enterprise Development, an economic development intermediary, is a key national leader in the asset-building movement and a longtime grantee of the Mott Foundation on asset building and microenterprise issues.
