Collaboration with CBOs (Community Based Organizations) continues to be in the works. Some, like Jump$tart coalition, Habitat for Humanity, etc. are in re-evaluation/hiatus mode. Prepare + Prosper is in the process of reformulating delivery of financial consulting to its clients. Tapestry and Tubman are focused on group presentations with Financial Education Committee. College Possible, a new CBO relationship, is finalizing a date for a mini Financial Planning Day for its AmeriCorp volunteers. We may need 20 planner volunteers for 15-minute one-on-one sessions – watch for future announcements.
One-on-one, ad hoc financial consulting inquiries through our chapter continue to average 2 per month. Pro Bono Planner Map has made it easier to identify volunteer planners closest to pro bono client inquiries.
Pro Bono Committee meetings are open to all members. If you are interested in participating, please reach out to me. Our next committee meeting is Thursday, May 14.
