Program Summary:

Money Smart Kansas City (MSKC) is an financial education initiative for all ages, with special focus on the low-moderate income population. It is aimed at building financial knowledge, capability and mobility so consumers can manage their money more effectively and confidently through the delivery of workshops, seminars, programs and other resources, including a newly launched, local website.

MSKC is a true community partnership, involving the dedicated work and commitments of stakeholders in financial services, education, government, business, religious institutions and non-profit organizations. It is managed by an all-volunteer effort. Money Smart KC is not a program of Commerce Bank, per se. Commerce is a long-time financial supporter of MSKC and provides leadership representation on the Executive Committee, as well as other volunteers.
