Tutoría financiera

Los mentores financieros le ayudan a desarrollar sus habilidades financieras y a mejorar su salud financiera. Suelen ayudar a los clientes a gestionar los gastos, ahorrar, reducir la deuda y navegar por las prestaciones de la asistencia pública.

Anyone who self identifies as a survivor of domestic abuse or stalking in Oregon is eligible for FinAbility’s financial mentoring program.

We define a survivor of domestic abuse as someone who has experienced physical, emotional, financial, or psychological harm from a current or former intimate partner, family member, caregiver, or household member. This includes individuals who have survived intimate partner violence, elder abuse, or grew up in a home with abuse.

This is a trust-based program—if you identify as a survivor, we believe you. You can join regardless of how long you have been separated from your harm-doer.

Las sesiones de tutoría financiera tienen lugar virtualmente a través de Zoom.

Todo el tiempo que necesite. No hay límite de tiempo para reunirse con su mentor financiero.

In order to coordinate mentoring sessions, we will need to share your email with the financial mentor you are paired with. However, you are not required to provide any other identifying information and are welcome to use a pseudonym.

All financial mentors must pass a screening interview, skills proficiency assessment, and background check in order to volunteer with FinAbility. Our screening process not only assesses mentors' professional qualifications but also evaluates if they uphold FinAbility's values of integrity, courage, and humility.

Additionally, we require financial mentors to complete 10 hours of training on how to provide trauma-informed support to survivors.

La frecuencia de las sesiones la determina cada pareja de mentores. Recomendamos reunirse semanalmente o una vez cada dos meses.

Sessions are typically 60 minutes depending on your needs and scheduling preferences.

We are working to onboard new financial mentoring asquickly as safely possible. If you completed our interest form, we will let youknow as soon as a mentor is available to be paired with you. Matching is first-come first-served, based on when you completed the interest form. 

FinAbility is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization funded through individual donors, community grants, and corporate sponsors. We can provide financial mentoring at no cost thanks to the generosity of our local community and volunteers from partners like the Autzen Foundation, First Tech Federal Credit Union, and OnPoint Community Credit Union.
