About Us
DISB’s Office of Financial Empowerment & Education (OFEE) was created in 2020 to empower District residents with resources and actionable information on ways to manage expenses, increase generational wealth and maximize income. OFEE partners with community stakeholders, financial institutions, government agencies and non-profit organizations to provide innovative financial education initiatives that safeguard the financial future of Washingtonians by promoting inclusiveness and resilience through financial education.
Our Vision
We understand that access and financial education is key to financial empowerment and independence. We believe that every Washingtonian has the right to a fair shot through financial education and, with it, the ability to make positive financial decisions.
