<P>The Oklahoma Kids' College Savings Campaign is supported by a
multi-year grant from the CFED Savings for Education, Entrepreneurship and
Down- Payment Initiative to develop policies that encourage family savings
for children's futures. Led by Community Action Project, the campaign will
tackle two key factors that drive poverty and weak economic growth -- no
financial assets and lack of college education. </P>
