IDA Savings
Our results to date: 
In 2007, Opportunity Fund released a joint study with the Silicon Valley Community Foundation that tracked our IDA clients two years after they graduated from our savings program. The results were impressive.
Of those surveyed, 75% of program graduates continue to save today — saving an average of 10% of their annual income.
Equally exciting, 70% of those savers had opened savings accounts for their children, pointing towards a generational change in financial knowledge.
The study also found:
Entrepreneurship 80% of graduates who saved for a microenterprise still own their business or sold it for a profit.
Home Ownership 100% of graduates who purchased a home still owned the home.
Education 95% of graduates who saved for education have completed or are working towards completion of a degree. Download IDA Program social impact highlights here.
