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 Seema, one of our incredible volunteer presenters! 💚 ㅤ As a presenter, Seema leads a 90-minute workshop on a topic she's chosen because she’s passionate about it, using lesson plans and materials our program has already built. One conversation can shift how someone thinks about their money going forward. ㅤ Seema has brought that energy to cohort after cohort, and what she's found along the way is something just as meaningful: a community of women who show up for each other, share openly, and grow together. ㅤ We're endlessly grateful for volunteers like her. 🫶 ㅤ Interested in becoming a presenter? We'd love to have you. Apply to be a volunteer presenter at the link in our bio.

Ariana recently visited the State House to talk with the @ma_womenscaucus about the power of having someone in your corner. 💚 ㅤ In our financial wellness programs, coaches serve as accountability partners, sounding boards, and champions for the women they work with. We’ve seen first hand the benefit of having a mentor: our participants raise credit scores, reduce debt, grow their income, and they gain confidence and a community that believes in them. ㅤ Thank you to the Caucus for the invitation and for your commitment to economic equality for women! ㅤ #WomenEmpowerment #Mentorship #MAWomensCaucus
