Women’s Money Matters Awarded $10,000 Spruce Fund Grant From Metrowest Women’s Fund
We are pleased to announce that Women’s Money Matters has been awarded a $10,000 grant from the Metrowest Women’s Fund Spruce Fund. The Spruce Fund is an Impact Grant focused on girls and their safety from violence. This funding supports the commitment to addressing the safety and financial empowerment of girls in the WMM community.
This grant will support Life Launch programming for young girls who have experienced violence. Financial abuse often accompanies domestic violence, and The Spruce Fund funding provides an opportunity for WMM to expand financial wellness programs with a focus on girls who have experienced violence in the Metrowest area. The Life Launch program is designed to empower girls, the next generation of women, by informing them about financial risks as they approach pivotal milestones such as opening their first credit card, managing bills, and navigating the costs of post-secondary education and student loans.
Financial instability can leave women trapped in harmful situations. Life Launch equips girls with the knowledge and skills essential for long-term financial independence. By building these foundations, the program can help prevent situations where financial insecurity could leave them vulnerable to dangerous or abusive circumstances. DV survivors represent one of the most vulnerable demographics, and Life Launch offers them a safe space where they can connect with peers who have faced similar experiences, all working toward improving their financial futures.
We look forward to sharing updates about our Spruce Fund-supported initiatives throughout 2025. Thank you to the Metrowest Women’s Fund for this vital support and for recognizing that investment in girls’ safety and empowerment benefits our entire community.
