Women earn 82 cents for every dollar men earn in the US and the gap is larger for women of color.
The financial literacy gap between men and women in the US is about 59% wider than the rest of the world.

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."
Today is National Nonprofit Day! We`re celebrating the people who make this work possible: our staff, our coaches, and every volunteer who shows up for the women and girls in our financial wellness programs. ㅤ Nonprofits like WMM exist because of a shared belief that barriers like the gender pay gap, access to financial education growing up, or limited access to affordable resources shouldn`t stand between someone and financial confidence. That belief shows up in every workshop taught, every coaching session held, and every hour our volunteers give. ㅤ To our team, our coaches, and our community: thank you for showing up for each other. 💚

Today is Moms` Equal Pay Day, a reminder of how far into the year mothers must work to earn what fathers earned the year before. ㅤ Nationally, mothers working full-time, year-round are paid 74 cents for every dollar paid to fathers, a gap that shows up in every paycheck long before it shows up in a headline. ㅤ At WMM, 69% of the women in our financial wellness programs are mothers, and we see the impact of that gap firsthand. They have less room to save, less cushion for emergencies, and less ability to build toward the future. ㅤ Closing the wage gap will take systemic change, policy, employers, and years of advocacy. That`s bigger than any one organization alone, but while that work continues, we equip the mothers in our programs with the tools, coaching, and confidence to build financial resilience despite the wage gap. 💚 ㅤ Learn more and join a program at the link in our bio. ㅤ #EqualPay #PayEquity #WomenEmpowerment
