Building financial capability for Charlotte's economically-vulnerable families.
关于我们
Common Wealth Charlotte (CWC) is an innovative non-profit organization providing financial empowerment to Charlotte’s economically-vulnerable families through financial education coupled with access to traditional, yet specially-designed banking products and services, including 0% interest loans. CWC's trauma-informed financial education (TIFE) curriculum results in a more financially-capable workforce, producing long-lasting change and creating success for both employee and employer. TIFE is a new best practice introduced into the Charlotte region by CWC, and involves a deep understanding and recognition of the physical, psychological, and emotional trauma experienced by our most fragile working poor. It accomplishes its effort by empowering clients in both classroom and one-to-one settings, create an environment of safety, trustworthiness, transparency, peer support, mutual respect, consumer choice, and culturally relevant discourse. CWC's unique approach provides access to a re-banking program and donor-funded loan collateral pool, allowing its credit union partner to bank and make 0% interest loans (called Opportunity Loans) to clients with otherwise insufficient credit scores. These services enable clients to start on a pathway of upward mobility and break out of the cycle of poverty by providing an affordable alternative for depositing paychecks, addressing financial emergencies, refinancing existing predatory debt, and paying off items that negatively affect credit scores.

Fair wages. Worker rights. Economic justice. These didn’t just happen—they were fought for. At CWC, we honor leaders like A. Philip Randolph by continuing the fight through financial education, credit-building & fair access to capital. Economic equity starts here! #BlackLaborHistory #FinancialEmpowerment?

Madam C.J. Walker was a trailblazer in Black entrepreneurship, becoming the first self-made female millionaire in America by creating a line of hair care products for Black women. Her legacy exemplifies the power of perseverance and innovation in the face of systemic barriers. Today, her spirit lives on through countless Black entrepreneurs who continue to build businesses, break down barriers, and inspire future generations. At CWC, we are committed to supporting these efforts by advocating for equitable access to capital and financial education, ensuring the continued growth of Black-led businesses.?? ? #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackEntrepreneurs #WealthBuilding #CWC?
