UPATE: I've met my goal but P+P hasn't, feel free to still donate! :-)
Wow! 2020 has been QUITE a year!
Many of you know I haven't been the biggest fan of working from home these last 8 months (sigh, I want to move and interact with the community), BUT I'm so grateful that I still have a job and one that feels so relevant during these wild times.
Due to Covid, financial stability and access are ever pressing issues. Many people are struggling to find work, to feed their families, to make ends meet. While Prepare + Prosper does not address all of these challenges, our work is rooted in making sure our participants have access to as much of their own money as possible, through free tax preparation, increasing financial access with FAIR (and decreasing the high costs of living with alternative financial services), and through free financial coaching and various other services.
We also hit the ground running during COVID by answering questions and providing assistance over the phone to 5,257 people looking for information on accessing EIP (stimulus checks) and avoiding scams. It was really cool to be a key part to helping getting much needed financial relief.
Anyways, thanks for visiting my page and considering donating to Prepare + Prosper during our Give to the Max campaign. I really appreciate the support and am proud to have this opportunity to invite you into the P+P community! THANK YOU!
