Penny Forward is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization founded and led by blind people. Through education, mentoring, and mutual support, we help each other learn to confidently navigate the complicated landscape of personal finance.
We offer self-paced online financial education courses, weekly and monthly interactive chats about personal finance topics of interest to the blind community, and one to one financial counsling provided by blind financial counselors.
We’re excited to be expanding fast, and our 2024 – 2026 Strategic Plan explains what we’ll do and how you can help.
