Our Mission

Financial Inclusion for All Illinois is a statewide coalition committed to expanding access to the tools families need to build financially secure futures. We advocate for policy and program solutions that address the growing racial wealth divide, and we provide technical assistance to help organizations across Illinois build and strengthen their financial empowerment programs. 

FIAI is a project of Heartland Alliance.

Our Partners

FIAI partners are community leaders, service providers, researchers, advocates, and financial institutions committed to promoting solutions to the racial wealth divide and expanding savings opportunities for Illinois families.
