Advisers Give Back

Bring free help with money to the people you serve.

Our volunteer financial advisers meet one-on-one with people and families, for free. Partner with us, and we’ll make you your own page and a kit to share it.

What you get as a partner.

It’s free for the people you serve, and there’s nothing for your staff to run.

  • Free help for your community

    Volunteer financial advisers meet one-on-one with the people you serve, by phone, for free. They must put each person’s interests first, and they can’t sell them anything.

  • Your own page and sign-up link

    A page with your name and logo, and a sign-up link that credits you for every person you send.

  • A kit that’s ready to share

    What to say when money comes up, messages that send in one tap, images with your logo, a flyer and handout cards in English and Spanish, and a QR code. We’ll meet with your team to plan it, too.

  • We run everything

    We match people with advisers and handle the scheduling, the reminders and the follow-up. Real people on our team help every client by text and email. There’s nothing for your staff to run.

  • Your impact, reported

    We’ll tell you how many people you’ve sent, the meetings they’ve had and what they say about them.

  • Workshops and events

    When we can, our volunteers lead a workshop for your community or join your events. Our free Money guides are yours to share.

3,400+people have come to us through our partners, about half of everyone who has signed up

34libraries, nonprofits and other groups have sent people to us

1,330people from San Francisco Public Library alone, since 2021

How partnering works.

  1. You apply

    Tell us about your organization and the people you serve, and send your logo.

  2. We set you up

    Your own page, with your logo and a sign-up link that credits you, and a sharing kit of ready-made materials to promote it.

  3. You share it

    Your team gets a page of tools: what to say, messages and images to post, a flyer and handout cards in English and Spanish, and a QR code. We’re happy to meet with your team to plan it, too.

  4. Your people meet an adviser

    They sign up through your page, and a volunteer adviser meets them one-on-one, for free.

What you tell us about the people you serve shapes the words on your page and in your kit.

Your organization
What kind of organization is it?
Your logo
Your logo, as you sent it
The people you serve
What do you call them? We use this word on your page and in your kit.
Which languages do they speak? (choose any)
About how many could hear about this? (optional)
What do they most often need help with? (choose up to three) We use this to shape your page: the words under its headline, its examples and the guides it leads with.
For example: many are gig workers, recent immigrants or retirees.
Your own team
Would you like to offer this to your own staff, too? (optional) Your employees or volunteers, not only the people you serve.
How you’ll share it
How do you reach them? (choose any)
