What is HMW About?

Houston Money Week is a collaborative, city-wide initiative with a longstanding commitment to advancing financial literacy for all Houstonians since 2008. What began as a single week in April to honor Financial Literacy Month has grown into a month-long series
of events led by local partners—and has since evolved into a year-round movement. Today, Houston Money Week serves as a united effort to promote free financial literacy events across the Greater Houston area, advocate for financial wellness, and empower residents through signature programs like Every Teens Program, our annual All-Partner
Conference, and our year-end Holiday Social.
