North Texas: Scaling the Availability of Financial Coaching Funders’ Meeting
Building on seed funding from CFT, United Way of Metropolitan Dallas, Dallas Women’s Foundation, and the King Foundation, Dallas-based WINGS has developed a first of it’s kind approach to localizing training and professionalization for financial coaches across the region.
We met for a funders only, casual lunch conversation on Tuesday, September 25 from 11:30 am – 1:00 pm at the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas for a conversation about scaling the availability of financial coaching in North Texas. We discussed this opportunity and the potential for collaborative and coordinated support of this innovative new model.
Participants received a copy of the scale proposal prior to the meeting.
