Who We Are

Peer PowerED Financial Wellness™ (PPFW™) provides a comprehensive approach to improving student financial wellness grounded in a proven peer delivery model, expert guidance, and evidence-based best practices. Our work centers student voice and peer leadership while leveraging research, institutional data, and national best practices to address financial stress as a barrier to student persistence and completion. Through assessment, planning, and implementation support, PPFW™ helps colleges and universities build effective, campus-wide strategies that equip students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to make informed financial decisions during and beyond college.

PPFW™ is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, allowing us to partner with institutions, philanthropic organizations, and individual donors to advance our charitable mission. As a tax-exempt entity, PPFW™ reinvests all resources directly into program development, evaluation, and capacity-building efforts that ensure long-term impact and sustainability. We collaborate with higher education institutions to assess student and institutional needs and develop customized, data-driven plans that are scalable, equitable, and aligned with institutional goals for student success and economic mobility.
