Financial health means being able to manage household budgets, recover from the unexpected, build short-term savings and stability, and plan for the future.
$200 million achieved
In 2018, MetLife Foundation realized its five-year goal to provide $200 million in grants to advance financial inclusion worldwide. Going forward, the Foundation will broaden its focus to financial health, providing solutions to help lower-income people manage household budgets, recover from the unexpected, build short-term savings and plan for the future.
Partnering with Financial Health Innovators
MetLife Foundation collaborates with organizations to provide solutions that apply data-driven insights and digital innovations to enable lower-income people to take control over their financial health. Hosting and convening competitions is one way the Foundation identifies and supports effective partners and ventures. For example, Inclusion Plus, a global program of country-level competitions, identifies growing social ventures focused on financial health. In 2018, the Foundation partnered with Verb, a social innovation platform, to host competitions in Spain, Portugal, Australia, Korea and the United States.
