The Oregon Money Management Program offers support to adults, age 18 and over, who need help with money management tasks. Program staff and trained volunteers support the program by providing the following services:
- Bill Pay: one-on-one assistance is provided to individuals who remain in control of their finances but need short-term help to maintain financial stability. Assistance may include budgeting, organizing financial papers, paying bills, banking, and help filling out forms. This service is typically limited to three months, though ongoing assistance may be available.
- Representative Payee: one-on-one assistance is provided to individuals who do not have the capacity to manage their federal benefits such as Social Security, Veteran, and Railroad Retirement. Federal benefits are managed on behalf of clients, ensuring their basic needs are met and funds are protected.
Program volunteers enjoy a lot of flexibility. In as little as two hours per month, a volunteer can make a difference in the life of a vulnerable adult. Volunteers have flexible schedules; they can take time off for vacation and travel, and can choose the day of the week and time of day to volunteer!

Mission Statement
Our mission is to help seniors and people with disabilities maintain peace of mind, independence, and protection against fraud and financial exploitation.
Description
Financial security is more than simply having money to live on. It's also being able to understand and pay bills on time, create and stick to a budget, manage credit, organize financial papers, and other financial tasks. Our clients need help managing personal finances due to mental, cognitive, or physical impairments. Without support, these people are vulnerable to fraud and financial abuse. They are often isolated and living in fear of losing their independence. The Oregon Money Management Program offers support to adults, age 18 and over, who need help with money management tasks. We would be unable to serve so many clients without the help of our valued volunteers!
