Edward Jones Launches New Cohort for Financial Futures Program to Support Wealth Building in Underserved Communities
Edward Jones has announced a new cohort of small businesses participating in its Main Street Initiative as part of the broader Financial Futures program. The initiative, which partners with community organizations and financial institutions, aims to foster economic growth by providing grants, education, and advisory support to underserved communities across the U.S. The latest group includes 12 small businesses located in six states, each receiving a $30,000 grant along with personalized guidance from an Edward Jones advisor. The program is designed to help individuals at various stages of their financial journey—from building savings and reducing debt to growing enterprises—by combining education, data insights, and asset-building opportunities. In 2025 alone, the Financial Futures initiative reached over 23,000 people across more than 11,000 zip codes. It also awarded $6.5 million in higher education support and contributed $2.9 million directly to small businesses.
