Partnership Accounts for Individual Development, nfp, (PAID) is a not for profit corporation whose mission is to support individual development accounts (IDAs) and to provide tools and training to local community organizations for the promotion of financial literacy education for low and moderate income families.

Founded in the Spring of 2001, PAID was an inspiration of the Predatory Lending Taskforce. The Taskforce saw a need for proactive programs in the community to combat the abuses of predatory lenders. By creating a program which would encourage participants to learn positive financial practices while at the same time saving for a large asset purchase, the Taskforce hoped to combat these deleterious practices.

PAID has partnered with nine local community organizations, from the local housing authority to churches and other non-profit organizations. This collaboration has created a unique program structure which provides a unique opportunity for these organizations to offer an additional program to their clients and members, while allowing PAID to tap into the expertise of these groups.
