Favorite Non-Profit Organizations

As I was writing Financial Adulting, I interviewed some amazing experts. As a thank you for their time, I’ve been asking each person what their favorite non-profit organization is and then I have been making a donation in their honor. It’s felt incredible to be able to contribute to organizations doing meaningful work.

As I was learning more about each of these organizations and making donations, I was inspired to compile them into this list so I could share them with you.

I would love to add yours to the list. Do you have a favorite non-profit organization? Or is there an organization doing work you’re really excited about? Email me at ashley@thefiscalfemme.com and I’ll add yours to the list.
