Finability

Community partnerships: in 2024, finabilitys survivor advisory committee continued to shape strategic priorities, design programs, and lead public education efforts. They launched quarterly webinars attended by over 125 community members and ran advocacy campaigns to raise awareness of financial abuse. Finability also supported systems change by joining a national working group led by the center for survivor agency & justice and collaborating with 12+ crisis support organizations across oregon to build more survivor-centered financial services.

Website product: in 2024, finabilitys website and online tools provided lifesaving information to over 24,000 users.

The toolkit is now available in five languages, and we completed 30,952 translation requests.

Our outreach and communications work in 2024 included our second annual #speakout event, where survivors shared their stories in portlands 13th avenue plaza to an audience of 80+ attendees. The event featured 12 nonprofit partners (up from 2 last year) and earned a net promoter score of 9.6/10, signaling high impact. In addition to #speakout, these funds supported awareness campaigns on domestic and financial abuse, a series of educational lunch-and-learns with financial institutions, and a domestic violence simulation experience to help bank staff and community members better understand the complex barriers survivors face.
