Hey Penny Forward Family,
Get excited—something fantastic is happening this April, and we couldn’t wait another minute to share it with you!
Since 2022, our Wednesday Workshops have become one of Penny Forward’s most loved and impactful offerings. Every week, our members come together to learn practical, real-world ways to manage money better. We’ve seen countless success stories, from building emergency savings to mastering credit scores and making first-time investments. But here’s the thing: until now, these weekly workshops have primarily been exclusive to our monthly and yearly members.
But guess what? We’re shaking things up in honor of Financial Capability Month. For the ENTIRE month of April, we’re inviting every single Penny Forward member—including guest members—to join in on the fun, completely free of additional charge!
Yes, you read that right. Every single workshop, open to every single Penny Forward member. No exceptions.
Financial Empowerment for Everyone
At Penny Forward, we believe financial capability is for everyone—whether you’re blind, have low vision, or are fully sighted. While our workshops have always had a special focus on accessibility and inclusion, the lessons we teach apply to everyone. Whether you’re brand new to personal finance or you’re simply looking for a fresh perspective, these workshops have something valuable to offer.
If you’ve been curious about what Penny Forward workshops are all about, now’s your chance to join us and discover firsthand how we can help you become confident and successful in managing your money.
Here’s What You Can Look Forward To:
Throughout April, our workshops will cover the core essentials of personal finance, presented in an engaging, clear, and inclusive way that’s helpful to both blind and sighted members alike:
1. Budgeting Made Easy: Know Exactly Where Your Money Goes
Let’s ditch the stress around budgeting! Our first April workshop covers practical budgeting strategies that actually fit your life. You’ll learn easy techniques that help you take control of your money without complicated spreadsheets or overwhelming apps. Whether you’re visually impaired or sighted, budgeting will finally feel approachable and easy to maintain.
2. Savings Simplified: Building a Financial Cushion That Works
We know—saving can feel hard, especially if money already feels tight. In our savings workshop, you’ll learn effective, no-nonsense tips for setting aside money consistently, regardless of your income level. We’ll show you exactly how to build an emergency fund or save toward your dream goals in ways that are achievable, accessible, and straightforward.
3. Master Your Credit: Simplify Your Credit Score and Reports
Credit is confusing—but it doesn’t have to be! Our third April workshop tackles credit scores, credit cards, and credit reports in a way that everyone can understand. We’ll demystify how credit works, explain what your credit score means, and teach you accessible, practical steps for maintaining healthy credit. Both sighted and visually impaired members will come away feeling confident and ready to make credit work for them.
4. Investing Basics for Everyone: Grow Your Wealth Confidently
Think investing is only for finance experts or people glued to CNBC? Think again! Our investing workshop will simplify investing basics and give you actionable, easy-to-understand strategies to build wealth, regardless of your current knowledge. We’ll share insights on getting started, choosing investments, and navigating platforms that work well whether you’re blind or sighted. Investing isn’t out of reach—it’s right at your fingertips!
5. Goal Setting for Financial Success: Turn Dreams into Reality
Our final April workshop is about setting achievable financial goals and creating clear, motivating action plans. Whether you’re dreaming of buying a home, paying off student loans, or just feeling financially secure, we’ll help you map out practical steps to get there. This session is perfect for anyone ready to clearly define their goals and start making real progress immediately.
Why Should You Join Us This April?
This isn’t just another workshop series. It’s a chance to finally make sense of your money and feel empowered to take control, whether you’re visually impaired or sighted.
At Penny Forward, we’ve always specialized in making finance accessible. We started by serving the blind and visually impaired community, but quickly discovered something important: when financial concepts are clear, practical, and accessible, they’re better for everyone.
Our workshops offer real-world strategies, proven methods, and down-to-earth guidance designed to help you succeed no matter your background, your sight level, or your current financial situation.
Hurry—This Opportunity Ends April 30th!
We’d love to keep this promotion going indefinitely, but the truth is, it’s only happening for April 2025. After April 30th, our Wednesday Workshops will once again become exclusive to monthly and yearly members.
So, don’t miss your chance! This April, join us every Wednesday and experience firsthand why Penny Forward workshops are changing the way people manage their money—for good.
