Economic Justice for All
San Franciscans
We work to strengthen the financial foundations of families and communities.
We’re Here to Help
The Economic Justice Center turns the power of the Treasurer’s Office into tools that help San Franciscans build savings, reduce debt, and keep more of what they earn—while eliminating unjust fines and fees and protecting people from predatory financial practices.
Kindergarten to College
We automatically open a college savings account for every K-12th grade student enrolled in SF's public schools.
Fine and Fee Justice
We assess and reform fines and fees that have an adverse disproportionate impact on low-income people and communities of color.
Financial Counseling
We offer personalized 1-on-1 counseling to break down financial barriers and build a clear path forward.
From Our Community
K2C has contributed to this moment in my life now. Through K2C, I have learned to save money for college and invest in my future. My career goal is to be a community advocate for Black and Brown people in San Francisco, especially the medical aspect of it.
Thailyah Miller, K2C Graduate
Every single one of us is dealing with this stuff. We know what it looks like to be dealing with these systems that continue to trip us up when we’re trying to get on our feet.
Amika, Young Women's Freedom Center
K2C made me feel that college is possible. The program has also provided me with relief about going to college because of the savings I've accumulated with K2C over the years. I'm really excited about going to college and exploring my future career path.

Javier, Community Housing Partnership
I value how clear my coach was with me and how he set realistic expectations, and it was about tackling one financial challenge at a time. My coach is also very accessible, and I feel comfortable reaching out to him at any moment.
