Who We Are

The Coalition is a not-for-profit organization whose continuing mission is to assist consumers in understanding and improving their ability to manage their financial affairs.

The Coalition’s approach is what sets us apart from other financial education providers. We look to engage participants in interactive classes about personal financial management in order to maximize learning and retention of information. Because financial decision-making is complicated by consumers’ emotions, moods, expectations and attitudes about purchasing and borrowing, we teach end use classes that incorporate our knowledge of adult learning modes and the psychology of money.
