In 2005, The United States Conference of Mayors’ national financial education campaign, DollarWise, launched its Innovation Grants program (then called Capacity Grants), which awarded small grants—between $15,000 and $25,000—to cities across the country to bolster their financial literacy efforts. In 2009, the program celebrated its fifth anniversary and its fifth round of grants. To mark this milestone, I led a team that worked with past grant recipients to catalog the success that their grants had generated. We produced this report, which took the place of that year’s Partnerships publication and was first distributed to mayors and other attendees at USCM’s annual meeting in Providence, Rhode Island.

I consider this to be the finest single publication I produced in my time with USCM.
