The Sammy Rabbit program provides financial literacy curriculum to help children develop savings habits and goals. When the child completes the curriculum United Way, working with their donors, sponsors, and parents, will open a custodial saving account in the child’s name. The child must agree with the parents to make regular savings deposits to match the United Way. When the child has honored that commitment, United Way will make another matching deposit and continue working with the child and family providing financial literacy, savings, and investment messaging and opportunities.
