Show Me the Money Day Program

Update on Show Me the Money Day 

CEDAM is pressing pause on our Show Me The Money Day (SMTMD) program for the 2025–2026 season. With the close of our AmeriCorps program and shifts in the community development landscape, we’re taking this opportunity to thoughtfully re-evaluate SMTMD and explore how it might evolve to best meet the needs of communities across Michigan.

If you have feedback on the program—ideas for improvement, things to consider, or other ways we can support your community’s asset-building efforts for low- to moderate-income individuals and families—please reach out to Bethany Broom-Dombrowski (bethany@cedamichigan.org).

What is Show Me the Money Day?

Show Me the Money Day is a free, community-centered event that connects individuals and families with affordable financial products, essential resources, and practical financial education. These events are designed to create a welcoming environment where attendees can learn, engage, and take steps toward achieving their financial goals.

From January to June, CEDAM members host SMTMD events across Michigan. By aligning with tax season, SMTMD provides timely tools and information to help build assets and improve the financial well-being of Michigan residents.

Why SMTMD Matters

For over a decade, SMTMD has made a significant impact by increasing access to financial resources and education across Michigan. These events foster stronger connections between community members, local organizations, and financial institutions, laying the groundwork for long-term financial stability and success.

Through past SMTMD seasons, participants have gained:

  • Increased confidence in managing their finances
  • Valuable connections to local resources and programs
  • Access to tools that help them build and sustain assets
