United Way, SunTrust Foundation Develop Financial Wellness Tool


An experienced emergency medicine physician, Dr. Paul Bolger owns the Medical Aesthetics and Wellness Center in Davenport, Illinois, and is an attending emergency physician at two Trinity Medical Center locations. Paul Bolger, MD, and his wife are longtime supporters of the United Way.

United Way recently unveiled a joint initiative with SunTrust Foundation called My Smart Money, a new website that is aimed at helping people develop better personal finance skills. The site is tailored for individuals regardless of their overall income and was developed with a $1.1 million grant to United Way from the SunTrust Foundation. 

Site users are educated with fundamental building blocks for addressing real-life financial situations. Not only does the website give users long-term advice, like college savings and retirement planning, but it also helps them deal with everyday issues like paying bills, managing money, and getting out of debt. 

Alongside its sister program MyFreeTaxes.com My Smart Money is the newest addition to the United Way’s catalog of financial wellness products.
