Savvy Ladies

Savvy Ladies empowers women through financial knowledge and champions the advancement of self-reliant, financially educated women. Nationally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in NYC. Established in 2003 by Stacy Francis, a finance industry professional who personally witnessed the impact of women's financial disempowerment when her grandmother remained in an abusive marriage due to financial insecurity. The organization's programs have grown steadily by leveraging the effort and expertise of highly qualified pro bono volunteers. To date, Savvy Ladies has helped over 25,000 women in the New York area and nationwide through virtual and in-person programs. These include the Savvy Ladies Helpline, offering women one-on-one, personalized financial mentoring provided by certified volunteer professionals, as well as an active program of webinars, seminars, online classes, and workshops.
