In recognition of Financial Literacy Month, The Auto Club Group Foundation says it has already awarded $50,000 in financial literacy grants in 2026, continuing its investment in programs that help individuals and families build stronger money-management skills.

That early 2026 total follows $84,000 in financial literacy grants awarded in 2025, showing what the Foundation describes as a continued multi-year commitment to strengthening communities across its 14-state footprint.

Foundation leaders say the grants support a variety of programs, including classroom curriculum, hands-on workshops, and digital learning tools designed to help people better understand budgeting, credit, savings, and long-term financial planning.

“Financial literacy is more than a program; it’s an investment in safer, stronger communities,” said Matt Nasworthy, Director of the ACG Foundation. He said the grants help schools and nonprofits provide resources that make a measurable difference for students, families, and other learners.

The Foundation says its financial empowerment efforts are focused on reaching those who may need support the most, including students, first-time workers, underserved families, and seniors.

AAA–The Auto Club Group spokeswoman Montrae Waiters said the grants come at a time when families are facing rising living costs and increasingly complex financial decisions. She said the programs are intended to provide trusted guidance in areas such as budgeting, credit, savings, and protecting financial futures.

Among the 2026 financial literacy grant recipients are organizations in Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, including Communities in Schools of Georgia in Atlanta and the Taylor Made Foundation in Covington.

The ACG Foundation says it will continue awarding financial literacy grants throughout the year to support organizations working to improve financial outcomes for individuals and families across the region.
