With mini-grant funding from the Oklahoma Native Assets Coalition, Inc., the Mvskoke Loan Fund purchased a “Spending Frenzy” game kit offered by First Nations Development and facilitated a “Spending Frenzy” financial education simulation for thirty-five Native students. Twenty of the middle school students who participated in the simulation and attend the Eufaula Dormitory, a school established by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation in 1892, will receive $100 account opening deposits for emergency savings accounts. Accounts will be opened at First Family Federal Credit Union. Students will take a field trip to the credit union headquarters
