August provides Aotearoa with a financial wellbeing boost
Sorted Money Month is a public awareness and engagement campaign coordinated by Te Ara Ahunga Ora Retirement Commission in partnership with the financial capability community. It runs annually from 1 to 31 August. This year, efforts will be focused on building the resilience of New Zealanders with a single call to action around encouraging emergency savings.
The peace of mind having an emergency fund brings is measurable, and research shows that starting, even with only a small amount, brings a significant boost to people’s financial resilience and wellbeing. National Strategy partners are a crucial part of Sorted Money Month as we collaborate across the financial capability sector to help transform people’s lives this August, whether in relation to 2025’s emergency savings theme or financial capability in general. Karawhuia, give it heaps!
Join us for the National Strategy for Financial Capability Money Month webinar.
In this interactive online event, we’ll share information on this year’s Sorted Money Month theme, provide an overview of the creative resources we’ll be offering, and give you the chance to share your ideas and ask questions.
