Projects Currently In Development:

Financial Literacy for Adults in Maine

The purpose of this project is to promote adult financial literacy throughout Maine, and has the potential to reach significant numbers of Maine adults since approximately 1 in 10 Maine residents enrolled in an adult education program in 2002.  In addition, this project will provide an opportunity to evaluate both the effectiveness of financial literacy education and its economic impact as measured by changes in personal net worth.

Benefits Education for Disabled Adults (“BEDA”)™

This project will result in a modular program that can be adapted to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities based upon both cognitive skill and desired topical area.  Potential users of this program range from the developmentally disabled, to those who have suffered traumatic brain injury (including returning combat veterans), to the physically disabled.  Topical areas will include both benefits information and basic personal financial literacy materials.  Modules will also be available for primary caregivers.  The Institute is currently seeking funding for continued development of this exciting project.
