PLUTUS FOUNDATION GRANTS

My Finances Are Beautiful

Grant awarded Spring 2023.

Grant awarded Spring 2017.

My Finances Are Beautiful is a free, bi-monthly event for women and couples between the ages of 21 and 45 who are focused on transforming their financial lifestyle, hosted by The Finance Bar.

This event was created to provide a safe and judgement-free platform for others to share their financial woes and wins, and to learn more about the importance of financial awareness and how we are able to empower one another.

The event begins with a series of activities to engage the audience and always includes an hour long activity focused on a specific topic to avoid overwhelming attendees. The evening ends with Q&A to allow attendees to ask specific questions relevant to their unique situations.

The Finance Bar is a personal finance suite and mobile hub bridging the gap between individuals and financial wellness. The program delivers innovative personalized coaching and financial education to schools, organizations, and corporations.

The Finance Bar was born from Marsha Barnes' desire to find creative ways of delivering financial resources to people who need it the most. From imagining a mobile hub that could be transformed into a financial educational station, a quaint and inviting coaching suite that was designed to inspire you while moving you to take action, and an online virtual hub to join in regardless of where you are located, my number one desire was to meet you where you are on your finance journey. So here we are.
