Help people in poverty steward their money well
Address poverty in a biblical, effective way
Financial obstacles keep people in the U.S. trapped in poverty.
Without the right tools and a supportive community, it’s nearly impossible to escape the cycle!
With Faith & Finances, you can help!
We'll train you how to launch a financial education class for low-income adults at your church or nonprofit.

Tired of financial advice that doesn't work for people in poverty?
Traditional financial education tools aren't designed for people living at the poverty line.
Let’s face it: when someone is struggling to make ends meet, advice on retirement accounts and mortgages just isn’t relevant.
There's a better way to help people steward their money well, even if you're not a financial expert.
Through Faith & Finances training, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to launch and lead a financial education class for low-income adults at your church or nonprofit.
