What We Do

Prosperity Connection’s St. Louis Builds Credit Initiative offers free financial classes to help St. Louisans build an understanding of some of the more common areas of financial literacy. We host a a variety of virtual classes that discuss creating spending plans, understanding the many aspects of credit, sharing information about auto and home buying basics, and highlighting other seasonal specialty classes.

We are now offering credit report reviews under the umbrella of our St. Louis Builds Credit initiative. During this one-time appointment, our staff or trained volunteers will provide you with an analysis of your credit report, resources, and action steps you can take to improve your credit. All of this comes at no-cost to you and will not hurt your credit score. This is a great way to get personalized tips for improving your credit without the time commitment involved with our financial coaching.

Prosperity Connection and St. Louis Builds Credit periodically host credit fairs to provide attendees with a “soft pull” credit check at no cost. Attendees have the opportunity to sit down one-on-one with a financial coach or credit fair consultant. They will be given their FICO credit score along with a detailed report of all areas affecting that score. Participants will be given an individualized preliminary action plan and the option to sign up for ongoing financial coaching in their future.

Navigating the financial world is often a daunting task when you face it alone. We offer free, one-on-one financial coaching sessions to help clients build their skills and confidence. Whether you want to create a budget, improve and build credit, or create savings to save for larger purchases like a car or a home, our highly-trained financial educators will guide you in the right direction by helping you set achievable goals, create an action plan, and build savings.
