The Mission Of Savvy Ladies® … Championing Women’s Empowerment through Financial Knowledge

Founded in 2003, Savvy Ladies Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that provides free financial education to women.

Savvy Ladies champions the advancement of self-reliant, financially educated women, helping reduce economic and racial disparities in financial education for women. Its mission is to make financial education accessible to the most vulnerable and underserved women, empowering women to take control of their finances by providing a professional network of support and guidance, offering a free financial helpline, and providing educational programming to help women make informed and confident financial decisions.

Savvy Ladies programs and Free Financial Helpline enable connecting with the most vulnerable and underserved communities of women, empowering all women, especially Black/African American and Hispanic women, to access trusted, quality free financial guidance.

Savvy Ladies equips women with financial education tools and personalized guidance. It provides real strategies that enhance financial well-being and reduce anxiety, helping women understand the best plan for their finances.

The goal of Savvy Ladies is to ensure that women have a trusted and reliable resource to get educated about their financial lives and encourage women to build and preserve economic security. The intended outcome is to decrease the number of women who fall prey to financial abuse and exploitation and increase the number of women who understand the importance of educating themselves.

The Savvy Ladies organization is unique in that it is completely independent of any financial institution or company.

The organization’s programs have grown dramatically in response to demand and continued need and by leveraging the effort and expertise of highly qualified pro bono volunteers. Savvy Ladies has helped over 25,000 women in the New York area and nationwide through virtual and in-person programs. These include the Savvy Ladies Helpline, which offers women one-on-one, personalized financial counseling provided by Certified Financial professional volunteers, and robust programming, including webinar series, panel discussions, expert articles, and free online self-paced financial FINRA-approved courses .

Through its unique programming, Savvy Ladies instills the importance of financial knowledge and provides women with the resources to make informed financial decisions for themselves and their families.
