Creating A World Where All Women & Girls Are Financially Empowered

Who we are

Women’s Money Matters builds the financial wellness, confidence, and security of women and girls living on low-incomes.

At Women’s Money Matters, we believe that financial wellness is a fundamental human right.

Our participants build real confidence and skills through workshops, one-on-one coaching, and a community that sticks with them — not just for eight weeks, but for the long run.

In their own 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."

Meet Aradhita, a Financial Futures coach who shows up for her participants week after week. 💚 ㅤ She gets just as much as she gives to our cohorts. In her own words: "I also get to learn from the coaches, mentors, and mentees." That kind of openness is exactly what makes WMM's community special. ㅤ A few hours each week is all it takes to help someone build real confidence and take control of their financial future. For Aradhita, that makes every minute worth it. ㅤ Thank you, Aradhita, for everything you give to our community. 🫶 ㅤ Interested in becoming a coach? We'd love to have you. Apply to coach at the link in our bio.

One-on-one coaching

Real life financial skills

Our workshops cover budgeting, credit, banking, saving, fraud protection, and more. You'll graduate with tools you can actually use.

Intentional peer groups

Programs are kept intentionally small so everyone has a voice. You'll learn alongside a group of women who are navigating similar challenges.

Community of over 3000 graduates

When you graduate, you join a community that includes Alumnae Circle gatherings, Level Up workshops, and ongoing support.

No cost for participants

Our programs will always be free to participants.

A manageable 8 week commitment

Each week you'll attend a workshop (about 1.5 hours) and meet with your coach (about 1 hour) at a time that works for you.
