What is Financial Empowerment?
Financial Empowerment 1:1 sessions are for women who want to plan for their future and ensure financial health, as well as those who are currently struggling with financial issues or concerns. Through the generosity of experienced bankers, financial planners, and tax accountants, all women have an opportunity to obtain guidance and direction on a wide range of financial matters. General topics include:
-
Managing money
-
Managing debt
-
Savings planning
Other specialized topics are available on an as-needed basis and are volunteer specific, for example:
-
Special needs trusts
-
IRS tax-issues
-
Small business accounting
-
Nonprofit accounting
-
Finances/credit repair
-
Debt management
Tailored for You
The Financial Empowerment Program is designed to complement existing programs on the Cape that offer financial guidance, by assisting women who may need more individualized attention than they may be able to receive in a group setting. This program is also an option for those who may feel uncomfortable in other more “public” venues. We expect that women will want to have more than a single appointment to fully address their financial needs.
WE CAN also offers occasional workshops related to topics such as:
-
Finances
-
Debt management (including student loan debt)
