Our Mission

Why Financial Health?

Financial health is about more than how much money a person has – it’s about having a financial system that allows them to weather unexpected expenses and achieve long-term goals. However, the majority of Americans are not Financially Healthy, and historically disadvantaged populations are disproportionately Financially Vulnerable. Individuals who are Financially Healthy are resilient in the face of financial setbacks and able to make progress toward long-term financial goals, while Financially Vulnerable individuals typically struggle to meet expenses, have little to no emergency savings, and have burdensome levels of debt.
