Welcome to VIDA!

VIDA is part of a nationwide asset-building strategy at both the State and Federal level.

This initiative is based on the premise that people escape poverty and become economically self-sufficient through savings and investment. The strategy sees that the accumulation of assets is the key to the improvement of the economic condition of poor households. With the same purpose, VIDA attempts to strengthen families by providing them with the financial skills and tools to build wealth through Individual Development Accounts (IDAs).  Since 2001 VIDA has expanded to 42 non-profit organizations and 4 affiliates throughout Oregon.
