ABOUT THE NETWORK
Assets are the building blocks of financial security for Hoosiers of all backgrounds and identities both now and for years to come. Asset building can mean many different things to different people, but to the Indiana Assets & Opportunity Network it means financial empowerment, savings for the future, and public benefits and programs.

The Indiana Assets & Opportunity Network (A&O) connects and provides learning opportunities to practitioners and advocates committed to asset building. It is co-governed by Prosperity Indiana and the Indiana Community Action Poverty Institute and has a Steering Committee of diverse organizations that support an economy that works for all Hoosiers. Members of the A&O Steering Committee are leaders in the Indiana asset-building space.
