Money Management International (MMI) and USAA Educational Foundation (USAAEF) Collaborate to Improve Financial Readiness for Service Members and Their Families

“You can regain control of your finances and work towards a debt-free future.” - Gabriel Grant, USMC Veteran

/EIN News/ -- STAFFORD, Texas, May 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Money Management International (MMI) and USAA Educational Foundation (USAAEF) are pleased to announce a strategic collaboration aimed at bolstering financial wellness efforts across military communities nationwide.

Driven by a mutual commitment to empowering individuals with sound financial knowledge and resources, the new relationship leverages the strengths of both organizations to deliver impactful educational content, debt relief advice, and social media outreach.

“Debt is a real issue for military families and one that can take the focus away from your job in uniform. We are proud to partner with MMI to equip individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to make informed financial decisions and build a more secure future,” said David Evetts, President of USAAEF.

MMI becomes the preferred debt management partner for USAAEF participants who need deeper support through the foundation’s Debt Destroyer® program, a six-step journey designed to help users understand their cash flow, manage debt, and increase financial resilience. 

"We are excited to work with USAAEF to further our shared mission of promoting financial empowerment,” said Tara Alderete, Director of Enterprise Learning and Military Reconnect program manager at MMI. “By integrating resources and expertise, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of military households seeking to achieve financial stability."

“I wholeheartedly recommend MMI’s services to anyone struggling with debt,” said Gabriel Grant, a USMC Veteran who paid off more than $25,000 of debt through an MMI debt management plan. “Their personalized debt management solutions, creditor negotiation, and financial education were instrumental in helping me become debt-free.”
