Rick Love

The next presenter, Rick Love of the MetLife Foundation, which offers grants to financial inclusion programs helping low-income populations, offered his perspective from the insurance and funder angle. He stressed that his foundation values financial health and wellbeing as a desired outcome in financial inclusion and that they are interested in bundled programs that serve the low- to moderate-income community. He mentioned a program that he believes operates as a model in serving this community: the Working Families Success Network. The comprehensive national program combines three services: financial education and coaching, employment and improved access to public benefits.
