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.

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."

Financial stress and mental health are deeply connected. And for women of color, that weight is compounded by systems that have long made financial stability harder to reach.

July is BIPOC Mental Health Month. We`re holding that reality alongside the work we do every day because behind every statistic is a woman navigating real barriers, and building real strength.
ㅤ
In 2023:
- 20.4% of Indigenous women lived in poverty
- 16.8% of Black women lived in poverty
- 16.3% of Latina women lived in poverty
ㅤ
Compared to 8.3% of white, non-Hispanic women.

Access to financial wellness is more than a personal goal. It`s a matter of equity. And no one should have to navigate it alone. That`s why WMM offers free financial wellness programs, one-on-one coaching, and a community of women who show up for each other because the path to financial confidence is easier when you have people walking it with you. 💜 ...
