COLUMBUS – Ohio Treasurer Robert Sprague has announced the latest round of Compass Award honorees for 2026. The recognition program commends organizations, programs, and individuals across the state who are working to guide Ohioans toward financial literacy and empowerment.

We are excited to recognize these two organizations and the work they do to support financial education in Ohio.”
