Asset Policy Initiative of California

About this grant

This grant will support the Earned Assets Resource Network’s efforts to promote the development and sustainability of state and federal programs and policies that expand asset-building incentives and opportunities for low- and moderate-income families. Objectives of the project include: 1) engaging new constituencies to leverage sustained support for asset-development strategies; 2) informing the public and policymakers about how assets contribute to individual, family, and community economic well-being; and 3) testing innovative policies that bring asset-building opportunities to broad segments of the public. The grantee is a San Francisco-based nonprofit dedicated to helping low-wage workers break the cycle of poverty and create new cycles of prosperity. This is one of eight grants aimed at building the capacity of state asset-building coalitions to effectively promote the development of state asset policies.
