Five Ideas for Community Outreach

April is Financial Literacy Month. Here are a few ideas for how you might help your neighbors, friends, family members or co-workers increase their financial know-how.
  1. Print financial literacy tips (use the 360 Degrees resources) on your website or in your client/employee newsletters.
  2. Invite clients to a free reception and provide financial literacy basics.
  3. Work with your human resources department to schedule brown bag lunches for co-workers on topics appropriate to employees of your company. Or, for CPA firms, offer to do brown bag lunch sessions for your clients’ employees.
  4. Hold a financial literacy event at your church, synagogue or community center. Use the CPA Mobilization Kits to put together your presentations.
  5. On your website, include a link to the 360 Degrees of Financial Literacy website. Banner ads are available for this use.
