IN THEIR WORDS

"I'm a single mother. What I saw in Women's Money Matters was a way to empower women to be financially independent. You don't need an unreliable boyfriend. You don't need a husband if that doesn't happen for you. You can do it on your own."

LauraProgram Leader

"Before I started the topic, 'financial literacy' brought me feelings of anxiety."

AnonymousParticipant

"Our staff values Women's Money Matters because we recognize how fundamentally important financially literacy is. It's the springboard for anything our residents want to do in their lives. It's great to have hopes and dreams, but that financial foundation is how they're going to get there."

Thank you to the WMM Community.  This Giving Tuesday, you helped us raise $15,600 to support women and girls on their journey to financial wellness. 🌟

Your support is building a vibrant community of women uplifting one another, just like Yolanda, a graduate turned coach, (pictured here) who shared: "For so long I had no one to talk to about my finances. Now I can talk to my kids about it. My biggest goal is to ensure my whole family will be financially empowered."

Let’s keep this momentum going... Together, we can create even more opportunities for women and girls living on low incomes.
