WHY WOMEN & GIRLS?
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.
33% single mother households in Massachusetts live in poverty
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."

We’ve had a great time at the Out To Lunch Festival & Farmers Market this summer! 💚 ㅤ Between the live music, food trucks, and local makers, it`s one of our favorite ways to connect with the Worcester community, share what WMM is all about, and meet people curious about building financial confidence, whether that means budgeting better, understanding credit, or just starting a conversation about money. ㅤ Thanks to @outtolunchworcester, @downtownworcesterbid, and @cityofworcester for putting together such a great event. ㅤ Come see us again today, we`ll be back at the market! Stop by our table, say hi, and learn more about our free financial wellness programs for women and girls.
Alina is a Financial Futures coach who finds it incredibly rewarding to share the financial knowledge and experience she wishes she`d had access to earlier in her own life. ㅤ In this month`s spotlight, she talks about what keeps her coming back, and why watching women connect and support each other is one of the most inspiring parts of the work. 💚 ㅤ Inspired by Alina’s story? Learn more about volunteering for WMM at the link in our bio.
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. 💚
