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."

"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 Alice Claps, one of the most dedicated volunteers Women's Money Matters has ever had the privilege of knowing. 💜 ㅤ A retired CFO whose entire career was built on using financial expertise in service of others, Alice found Women's Money Matters after retiring in 2015 and never looked back. ㅤ For nearly a decade, Alice has shown up for the women and girls in our financial wellness programs — coaching participants since our days as Budget Buddies, in person and over Zoom. She even donated eight months of homemade soup to our annual fundraising auction and delivered a fresh quart to the winner's door every single month. ㅤ Oh, and did we mention? At 68, she took a solo road trip through Nova Scotia and swam with pilot whales. At 74, she finally got the tattoo she'd wanted for over 30 years: "All Shall Be Well" on her left forearm. And now at 80, she enjoys 30-minute spin classes. Alice contains multitudes. 💪 ㅤ As she steps back from volunteering this year, we want her to know her legacy lives on in every woman she coached and mentored. ㅤ Thank you, Alice. All shall be well — and because of volunteers like you, it truly is. 💚
