Tifton Financial Literacy Initiative

FLI LOGO Webpage

The goal of the Tifton Financial Literacy Initiative is to help solve challenges related to poverty, low homeownership rates and other issues by implementing a comprehensive financial literacy initiative through which every resident of Tifton can participate. It strives to better equip a population to make good decisions on credit and better position assets and resources that are effective and productive, resulting in significant personal, household-level, small business and community-wide impact. The initiative complements Launch Tifton, the city’s plan to create and promote housing options for residents.
