EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES THROUGH FINANCIAL LITERACY PARTNERSHIPS

We’re a nonprofit that partners with organizations to offer FREE workshops in both English and Spanish, teaching people how to handle money the right way and helping them imagine what it feels like to be great with money. We are honored to work with organizations to provide a practical and heart-centered system for dealing with dinero. Through our workshops, we show people how to save, spend, and succeed without breaking a sweat.

 

Welcome to the Financially Fit Foundation.

How We Teach

We partner with organizations to offer in-person workshops at organizations, businesses, schools, and community groups in the Los Angeles area. Our free workshops teach a simple and effective way of handling money, designed by an accountant but simple enough for anyone, even those who feel math-phobic. We guide participants through five comprehensive workshops that together form a system they’ll wonder how they ever lived without.

Each workshop covers a key aspect of personal finance—organization, budgeting, banking, credit cards, and their relationship with money. While each session stands on its own, the real magic happens as they build on each other. Once these skills become second nature, participants will be great with money every day and year after year. They’ll have the strength and ability to sustain a lifestyle of their own design. In other words, they’ll be financially fit.

For individuals who are not part of an organization that offers our workshops or are outside the Los Angeles area, we encourage you to explore our Individual Success Tools to get started on your financial journey today.

If you have an organization you’d like us to partner with, please let us know.

Who We Teach

We partner with organizations to bring financial education to individuals ready to make a change. Whether they’re just getting by or facing financial struggles, our system— available in both English and Spanish – is designed to help them take control of their finances and build a confident, secure future. Our workshops are perfect for individuals who:
 

  • Are getting by but want more than just “getting by”
  • Are seeing credit card debt pile up
  • Want to avoid the mistakes that lead to bankruptcy
  • Feel anxious about money and financial decisions
  • Wonder where their money goes each month
  • Want to improve or maintain good credit
  • Are ready to stop learning lessons the hard way
  • Want to avoid the financial mistakes they see others making
  • Would struggle in a financial emergency
  • Spend too much on unnecessary things
  • Have a love/hate relationship with money
  • Have money but struggle to hang on to it or grow it
  • Are living on their own for the first time
  • Make decent money but can’t seem to save much

Together with the organizations we partner with, we bring this life-changing system to individuals who are ready to take control of their financial future.

What People are Saying

IT WORKED!!!!!
I feel like a million bucks even if I don't have it (yet :))
And I kinda want to cry. It feels good on so many levels. Thank you.

The workshops helped me realize why I felt fear and stress about money and my financial future. I appreciate that it talked about the emotional/spiritual part of money but also gave us practical tools. I now know where the negative thoughts about money come from. I now have the tools to feel in control of directing my money - that takes away stress. To someone considering doing this, I would say don't waste more time feeling stressed about money.

It was empowering -- the knowledge received has forever changed my relationship to my finances. I'm happy that my future is bright! Before, I used to ignore my money. I felt like I never had enough and thought that my money would just disappear. I pay more attention now. My money stays longer in the bank, and I'm actually saving!!!

It has literally opened my mind on how I see money and budgets. The steps we took to get to having a great relationship with money was my favorite. I followed along with wide eyes the whole time and was sad when class was over. The program really helped me be stress free about money, and taught me that I have to treat it right in order for it to treat me right. If you in any way feel confused or feel your money is no doing what you need it to be doing, then this is the class for you!

I'm very excited about all of the things I learned in this class, starting with the organization which helped me declutter my mind and my house! I have a completely new and improved relationship with money. I feel free. I don't feel scared or intimidated by spending anymore. I'm confident in my decisions and don't overthink.

I would highly recommend this program to novices and people who may think they have their finances in order. My favorite feature of the program is the marriage of the spiritual/metaphysics with the practical application of financial freedom. What surprised me most was the transformation from fear and trepidation to positive excitement and hope related to my finances.

Financially Fit has provided me great tools to begin my journey towards financial freedom. I thought I was doing right by my money, but this showed me where I was going wrong and how to correct it. You don't know what you don't know. It's an eye opener. I was surprised to see how people experienced the same difficulties with money that I was. I wasn't alone.

Amber Mendoza

The experience has given me a system to take control of my money. I was overwhelmed and tired of reading books with concepts and theories -- I needed a system! The program has helped me become the boss of my money and not let money control me.

I feel so free from the guilt and shame of my relationship with money. I now feel empowered to have a healthy relationship with money and feel empowered to use it as a tool in maintaining and sustaining my lifestyle. What surprised me, and this is embarrassing to say but -- how easy the process really is.

This course has truly changed my life and my financial path. I now feel empowered in my spending, saving and investing choices. I am no longer making unconscious financial decisions and have set clear strategies and milestones. The blend of the practical and emotional aspects of money was exactly what I needed because I don't believe I'd be successful without both elements. This has completely transformed my relationship with money. I used to see money and financial wellness as something I would never be able to fully understand, but now I not only focus on money, I'm enjoying doing so! I was surprised by how this has affected all aspects of my life. I've decluttered my house, felt more confident at work, and strengthened my relationships with family and friends.
