The FAIM program assists low-wage earners save money to:
- Start a business,
- Purchase a home, or
- Pursue higher education for you or a dependent
How does FAIM work?
FAIM helps low-wage earners save money by tripling each dollar they save. Program
participants save $40 each month in a special savings account. Those savings are matched at a 3 to 1 rate. That means for every $40 saved FAIM will add $120 a month.
