🌟 Happy Women`s Equality Day! 🌟

Today, we celebrate not just women`s achievements, but the ongoing journey toward true gender equality in the world of finance and beyond.
At Women`s Money Matters, we believe that financial empowerment is a crucial step towards gender equality. It`s about creating equity, guaranteeing that each woman possesses the resources, education, and openings to assume control of their financial destinies.

Special thank you to @teradyneinc for highlighting us internally in honor of Women’s Equity Day as an organization to support and volunteer with in order to further equal access to financial wellness and to help women living on low-incomes achieve their financial goals without limitations.🤝Together, we can create a world where women have equal access to financial opportunities and can achieve their financial goals without limitations.

To highlight the journey women have embarked on for equality, test your knowledge about Women’s Equality Day with this quiz @gender.avenger and @allintogether created: https://allintogether.typeform.com/to/fz1Fi2aW

➡Join us in this journey towards financial equality. Share your stories, your triumphs, your challenges, and your aspirations. Together, we can make Women`s Money Matter.

📢 We`re proud to join forces with 100+ incredible organizations in endorsing Healthy Families Tax Credits Coalition`s letter, championing the Massachusetts House`s $600 per child #ChildFamilyTaxCredit. This credit is a game-changer, set to uplift over 1 MILLION children and dependents while steering our state and country towards impactful, evidence-based tax policies.
👉 Check out the full letter here: bit.ly/3OqwS4B

We are an organization whose vision is a world in which all women have a financially stable life so we support systemic changes that support families on low-incomes, who are often headed by mothers. We signed onto this letter to urge our House of Representatives to stand behind this transformative tax credit initiative. These credits have a proven track record of advancing racial equity, reducing poverty, and providing vital relief to families facing significant challenges. Over 700,000 families in Massachusetts will benefit from this crucial support.

🤝 Every family in MA deserves a helping hand from their government. The existing state tax regulations have made it tough for working families to access these essential credits. Let`s come together and advocate for #TaxCreditFairness.
Let`s create a brighter future for families across Massachusetts!

August is “Make a Will” month and recently we held our “Introduction to Estate Planning: Not just for the wealthy!” Level-Up workshop which emphasized the importance of planning for loved ones when you are no longer around.

Why estate planning? No matter what your “estate” includes, everyone needs a plan. Having a legal up-to-date will is a powerful way to protect your loved ones, make important decisions about the future on your own terms, and support those in your life.

Just like financial wellness needs, everyone’s estate planning needs are different. But if you’ve not yet had the opportunity to think through your plans for the future, we are encouraging you to feel comfortable and empowered to begin creating your will!

For more resources for members of the WMM Community of graduates and volunteers, especially for women living on low-incomes surrounding making a will and estate planning, join our WMM Connect and check out our resources available. https://community.womensmoneymatters.org/

⭐Team Spotlight⭐
Meet Shelina Sayani, Program Manager here at Women’s Money Matters.
🗨️"What I enjoy most about working in the non-profit sector is the ability directly and significantly impact our participants` quality of life for the better. Seeing the results our programming has on their skills and confidence is immensely rewarding."

🌩️"When I was 10 years old I wanted to be Storm from the X-Men when I grew up -- a powerful, inclusive woman who used her abilities for good. I like to think I do much of the same here at Women`s Money Matters (minus the lighting bolts)."

We appreciate all Shelina does for participants, volunteers, team, and our whole Women’s Money Matters community.

And here`s a picture of Shelina doing something she loves, traveling in the Azores!
