Established in 2011, the Community Financial Fund (CFF) seeks to advance financial literacy and promote financial wellness and resources for the undergraduate students at UC Santa Barbara.
For over 15 years now, CFF has given away millions in financial literacy grants, advised countless students on navigating their money concerns and situations, and developed scores of student leaders to be empathetic and proactive in helping peers.
All of our services are paid for by undergraduate student fees. This funding structure guides our belief in providing student-first programming, support, and advising.
The Community Financial Fund is a BCU (Board, Committee, Unit) operating within the family of Associated Students of UC Santa Barbara (AS UCSB).
