Mission Statement

Established in 2019, our mission is to help those who have been impacted by long-term incarceration, mass incarceration and financial exclusion build their credit profiles as part of their reentry journey.

Description

finEQUITY.org is a community sourced tech-nonprofit focused on the financial health of families in spite of incarceration. Our vision is to build tools and services to further a prison-to-prosperity pipeline. We advance the financial futures of community members or heads of the household who have been impacted by lengthy incarceration. We unlock access to financial health, and in particular, affordable apartments, transportation, utilities, cell phones and financial services such as banking, credit and savings. We do this by offering free, virtual, and easy access to credit and debt information, a free micro-loan program to establish credit, as well as a free in-prison program that teaches participants about finances and its impact upon release from a prison facility.
