EMPOWERING WOMEN TO REACH FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE

Be your money’s BFF

A brand-new movement designed to help young women under 30 take control of their finances from the very start of adulthood.

You wouldn’t run a marathon without training. Be your money’s BFF applies that same discipline to finances. Starting November 1, the movement kicks off with a free digital challenge!

A 4-week challenge to become the boss of your finances!

Month After Month Monthly Giving Campaign 

Giving once helps. Giving every month creates lasting impact. 

With the Month After Month campaign, you join a community of committed donors who believe that one simple monthly gesture can make a meaningful difference in a woman’s life. Monthly giving is a simple, accessible and meaningful way to support the Foundation on an ongoing basis. Because real change does not happen overnight, your continued support helps more women throughout the year on their journey toward financial independence.  

Every month, you can be part of the change.
