Creating Pathways to Prosperity
Lack of income means you don’t get by; lack of assets means you don’t get ahead. We believe in the power of saving. UIDAN helps lower wage working families build their personal safety net by providing a $3-for-$1 savings match and financial management skills training. "The IDA initiative provided the tools I need to find my way out of the hopelessness of poverty."
Economic Mulitiplier Effect
Individual Development Accounts (IDAs) are matched savings accounts that enable lower-income families to build assets and help them achieve long-term financial success. UIDAN creates new cycles of prosperity by providing a 3-to-1 match on the monthly savings of lower-income working families who are trying to buy their first home, pay for post-secondary education, start a small business, or purchase an assistive technology device for work related activities.
Financial Training and Support
Everyone can save - some just need a boost. While the matched savings is the centerpiece of an IDA, the program has several other critical components including mandatory financial management training, budget and lifestyle planning, financial counseling, debt management, innovative financial products, and asset-specific training.

Joel and Cindy, married for five years, are the parents of two children: a 3 year old daughter and a 1 year old son. They were raised in Davis County where Joel works for a national restaurant and Cindy works part time to augment the family’s income. They thought UIDAN was “too good to be true” but did some research and realized that an IDA would help them achieve a dream that seemed unattainable – owning their own home.
