This #GivingTuesday, we are raising money to provide financial wellness, freedom, and community support to women living on low incomes.
Giving Tuesday comes but once a year, so partner with us today and help us cross the finish line strong! Our goal is $6,592, and if you haven’t made a gift yet, there’s still time to give a life-changing experience to a woman in your community.
You could be helping a woman like Deonne make a difference in her son’s life. She said, “Last year, I didn’t have income, so you have to sign up for all the food pantries for Thanksgiving dinner and for presents [for Christmas],” she said. “Now, I know that I can get my son that bike he wants for Christmas because I do have a job. I can do nice things. It’s a big deal; it really is.” - Deonne, WMM graduate.

Today, people around the world will come together to celebrate generosity and make an impact on Giving Tuesday.
At Women’s Money Matters, we aim to raise $6,592 to support women in our communities living in low-income and transitional housing.
Why $6,592? We found that women in our financial wellness programs earn $6,592 less each year than their male counterparts due to the 30 cent average wage gap. The gender wage gap is a pressing issue in our society. Financial freedom allows women to feel secure and empowered, have opportunities, and have peace of mind.
By donating today, we can continue empowering women financially and fighting for pay equity!

Happy Thanksgiving from Women’s Money Matters! We are so grateful for the amazing WMM community and hope you enjoy the holiday with your loved ones.

We are proud to partner with Boston’s Women’s Workforce Council in creating this powerful video about the pay equity gap between men and women. The average gender wage gap in Greater Boston is 30¢, and more for women of color. We calculated that the women in our programs, on average, make about $6,592 less than their male counterparts.
We asked a few of them how that 30% more income of $6,592 a year would impact their lives. Their answers were honest, touching, and empowering. Watch the video to hear their voices directly, and let’s continue the fight to close the pay equity gap! #WomensMoneyMatters #BWWC #MaPoli #WageEquityNow

Big shoutout to our 15 Found in Translation participants who graduated! This group was amazing, and program lead Severine, wanted to share this lovely message. “This group almost brought me to tears. They participated throughout the workshop and shared their appreciation for the sessions and their coaches. Barbara wrote an impactful statement in the comments, and I thought it worth sharing: "This is such important work—a lot of us did not grow up with this information. Cycle-breaking-life-impacting."
Hearing such testimonials puts a smile on our faces as it reminds us of the work we are doing every day!

We are thrilled to announce a new partnership with the Emerton House!🎉
Women helping women is at the core of the Women’s Friend Society’s commitment to helping others. Today, the Society carries out its mission through the operation of Emmerton House and support for other Salem organizations.
Members—all women and all volunteers—participate through committees whose work ranges from knitting hats for premature babies to helping at Brookhouse, a historic Salem rest home for older women.
When Emmerton House opened its doors in 1879, providing a home for women and girls studying and/or working in the Salem area was considered revolutionary.
Today, Emerton House provides affordable housing and a safe environment for 20 women of all ages and backgrounds working or students in the Salem area.
We are glad we now have another option to refer our program participants to. Please let us know if you know another group we should partner with.💜

Reading testimonials from our participants and graduates about how much they appreciate our concrete program tools is wonderful! Our Credit Manager Tool is particularly useful, and we wanted to ensure everyone knows about it!
The Credit Manager Tool, a partnership through @Array, is housed within our community platform and app, WMM Connect, and helps track credit scores and also get important insights into credit scores. It is an amazing tool that allows our program participants to use a credit simulator in order to raise credit scores; that`s what we want to see!😊
