Donations

As a matter of policy, ByDesign Financial Solutions™ does not accept donations from our clients. We are, however, grateful for financial support received from the general public, foundations and grantors. Many who most benefit from our services--from counseling to educational workshops--are those who can least afford to pay for them, yet we do not refuse service to anyone who cannot afford to pay. Money management is seldom taught in the public school system and many people have trouble with personal finances simply due to a lack of knowledge. The stability of many families is improved through improved financial literacy learned through the educational programs we provide.

Your donations will help support our educational programs which, in and of themselves, are not self-supporting, yet are critical to the financial well-being of entire communities.

Your donation is tax-deductible as allowed by the I.R.S.
ByDesign Financial Solutions™ is a 501(c) (3) organization.

Why ByDesign™ needs your help
ByDesign seeks to provide services at the lowest cost possible to the consumer, so that everyone, regardless of income, can take advantage of our educational services. Many of our services are free, and no service is ever denied due to a client's inability to pay.

The generous support of our many funders makes this possible. ByDesign™ receives no government subsidies. Our funding comes from voluntary contributions from creditors, foundations and individuals, fees from clients for services provided, and grants for specific services, from federal, state and local government sources.

Historically, charitable contributions from creditors enabled us to provide education services – be they counseling, education workshops, or general community awareness – free of charge. Substantial reductions in creditor contributions, in recent years, has compelled us to seek other sources of funding to support the delivery of expanded services.

We need your help to ensure that those who are unable to pay for financial literacy have access to counseling and education.
