Money Smart Week is a public awareness campaign to promote financial literacy across all age groups. Launched in 2002 by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, the program is now active in more than forty-five states through national partnerships with the American Library and Financial Planning Associations.

The City of Peoria has partnered with a number of local organizations, financial institutions, and community groups to host Money Smart Week in Central Illinois from Saturday, April 20th through Saturday, April 27th in 2013.

Money Smart Week financial classes, intended to improve money management skills
throughout our community, are being offered to area residents at no cost. Approximately 50 FREE CLASSES are being offered during Money Smart Week, including a course facilitated by the City of Peoria in DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE.
