Building Stronger Futures: The David Staenberg Family Foundation’s Commitment to Veteran Financial Literacy

For many veterans, the transition from service to civilian life comes with new financial challenges—budgeting, managing credit, preparing for homeownership, planning for retirement, and building long-term stability. The David Staenberg Family Foundation (DSFF) is proud to meet this need head-on by offering a comprehensive 12-week Financial Veteran Literacy Program at the Vet Center, completely free to those who have served.

This program, taught by financial educator Ken Coleson, provides veterans with practical, approachable tools to confidently manage their money, reduce financial stress, and build healthy financial habits that support long-term stability for themselves and their families. Ken’s engaging teaching style and real-world experience make the material easy to understand and immediately applicable—empowering veterans to make informed decisions that shape a stronger future.

The David Staenberg Family Foundation believes deeply in the ripple effect of financial literacy. When veterans gain greater control over their finances, it strengthens not only the individual but also their families, workplaces, and the broader community. This 12-week program is one of the only veteran-focused financial literacy offerings of its kind in the region, and DSFF is committed to keeping it accessible at no cost.

To ensure this valuable program continues to grow and reach more veterans, please consider making a donation. Your generosity directly supports this mission and helps build financially confident families and stronger communities—one veteran at a time.
