We are excited to work with a group of talented partners to offer free financial education across the state of Maryland. There is a clear need for Maryland residents to have access to financial professionals who can help them get ahead in today’s economy. We hope people will take advantage of our classes, and it will lead them to a brighter future.

About Us

The Maryland CASH (Creating Assets, Savings and Hope) Campaign is a statewide non-profit that assists low- and moderate- income working families by offering financial education and asset building programs.

The Maryland CASH Academy provides free and low cost financial education classes through partnerships with service providers such as non-profits, banks, credit unions, educational institutions, and other financial professionals. 

Our Mission

The Maryland CASH Campaign promotes financial stability for working families throughout the state of Maryland.  The campaign focuses on helping working families maximize their financial opportunities and resources through the following activities:

• Marketing the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the dangers and costs of Refund Anticipation Loans (RALs) and similar loan products.
• Building the capacity of local jurisdictions to provide free income tax preparation and financial education/counseling to low and moderate income residents.
• Increasing awareness of financial issues impacting working families in Maryland.
• Advocating for policies that help working families to build strong financial futures.

Our Goals

The Maryland CASH Academy is a statewide clearinghouse of free and low cost financial education classes. We invite you to explore our listing of classes, and to register for and attend events that interest you. We are committed to offering you relevant and engaging personal finance information through qualified and experienced financial educators.
