Are You Money Smart?

We ask that important question as part of our Be Money $mart initiative. For the last five years, we have crisscrossed the Commonwealth, emphasizing the need for financial literacy education and recognizing those who have implemented or offer programs within their schools, organizations, and communities.

We don’t do this work alone! Our community partners have joined us on this journey to share helpful information and free resources to learners of all ages in support of their journey to financial security.

Together, we’re building resources for financially secure Pennsylvanians, now and in the future.

We’re spotlighting Philadelphia Controller Christy Brady. Controller Brady says, “Financial literacy is a fundamental life skill, and too many people still lack the education and support they need to make informed financial decisions. We must ensure that every person has access to the tools and knowledge that empower smart money management.”


“It’s never too early or too late to learn how to be smart with your money. And, it’s one of the most important lessons a person can learn. With the help of our partners, we are continuing to work toward creating the next generation of financially secure Pennsylvanians.”

-Auditor General Tim DeFoor
