Welcome
Money Smart Week WisconsinSM is a public awareness initiative made for you. It began in 2006. It aims to build your financial knowledge so you can deal with your own money more quickly, confidently and shrewdly. Use this site to find classes and events near you. Most activities are free. They offer unbiased financial education.
 Money Smart Week WisconsinSM is a creation of the Governor's Council on Financial Literacy. Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle created the Council to help him improve financial literacy in Wisconsin. Wisconsin's campaign grew out of similar successful promotions run by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in the cities of Chicago and Detroit. However, Wisconsin's campaign is the first-ever aimed at an entire state. It targets every city, town, and village throughout Wisconsin. Its goal is to help you find personal finance resources right in your own backyard. Click on following link to view this "video of expert comments" about money.
The important thing is this: The workshops, seminars, programs, events and other activities will help you and your family, students, homeowners, businesspersons, employees and other community members expand your opportunities through improved financial literacy.
But here is the best news. Money Smart Wisconsin has the backing of financial literacy leaders across Wisconsin. It is ongoing. This means you may rely on it now for your financial education needs and in future years. We also welcome the suppport of the Federal Reserve Banks of both Chicago and Minneapolis.
