Help 2,000 families rebuild more than a credit score.
A financial literacy and credit readiness program for church and community groups. Partner with FundedCEO™ to offer practical financial education, self-directed credit readiness tools, structured accountability, and honest measurement, so more people can be better positioned for housing, transportation, work and long-term financial stability.
Our goal is to help 2,000 families rebuild more than a credit score by the end of 2028.
For churches, employers, banks, credit unions, nonprofits, community organizations and sponsors. No guaranteed credit score increases. No promises to remove accurate information. The Credit Autopsy™ session is free. Anything beyond it, including a 180-day pathway, may carry a fee unless a sponsor covers it, and any fee is explained in writing before you decide.
People don't need another promise. They need a process they can understand and use.
Many people with damaged credit are overwhelmed, distrustful or financially stuck. A credible community program should reduce confusion, not exploit it.
Education before transactions
- Participants learn what is affecting their credit, what they can address themselves and why firm answers take time.
- Nothing is sold in the education session.
Self-directed implementation
- The program is designed around participant action and accountability, building legitimate command of their own information.
- People act on their own reports and decisions.
Progress beyond a score
- We track credit-related and financial readiness markers, not just a number: understanding, behavior, documentation and next steps.
- A score can move for reasons that have nothing to do with the program, so we never lean on it alone.
From financial confusion to a documented action plan.
The partner package is set up for each organization and reviewed against the rules that apply to it.
Baseline
Establish each participant's starting point: their goals, credit profile and financial readiness markers.
Understand
Teach reporting, scoring factors, utilization, payment history, debt and common report issues.
Implement
Participants use self-directed tools and complete appropriate actions, with education and accountability.
Measure
Review progress at set checkpoints and document both improvements and remaining gaps.
One mission. Different reasons to participate.
The program can support organizations that want to improve financial capability without turning their mission into a sales funnel. Each type of partner has its own line we hold.
Financial stewardship
Offer your congregation and community a practical, respectful way to understand credit and money.
- You share an invitation. You do not counsel anyone.
Better-prepared members
Give members and applicants a free place to learn what lenders look at.
- Education that supports your community mission.
Financial wellness
Offer employees a voluntary resource that reduces financial stress.
- Employees choose whether to take part.
Mission-aligned education
Add free credit education to the services you already provide.
- Your services stay yours and stay unconditional.
Measurable community impact
Fund seats for a defined group and receive honest, aggregate results.
- Written agreement, scoped before anything starts.
You want a referral engine
We are not for organizations looking for a commission, a per-person payment or a list of leads.
- If that is the goal, this is the wrong program for you, and we would rather say so now.
Assisted DIY, not dependency.
The goal is to help participants understand and take ownership of their financial progress, rather than teaching them to depend on a credit repair company.
- Financial and credit education. Plain-language lessons that help participants understand their own reports.
- Structured action planning. A practical plan based on the participant's circumstances and goals.
- Self-directed software tools. Tools participants use themselves, with guidance on what is appropriate to do.
- Group accountability and checkpoints. Defined progress reviews through the 180-day pathway.
- Next-step readiness. Education about preparing responsibly for housing, transportation and entrepreneurship goals.
What we will not promise
Trust starts with telling people what the program cannot guarantee.
- We do not guarantee any credit score increase.
- We do not promise any score, or any timeline, for any person.
- We do not promise removal of accurate information.
- We do not encourage anyone to dispute information that is accurate.
- Participation does not guarantee approval for a mortgage, automobile loan, credit card, business funding or any other product. Those are decisions made by lenders.
Measure the work, not just the marketing.
Partner reporting focuses on group-level progress. Each person's privacy is protected, and any individual story is shared only with that person's own written permission.
Bring the program to your community.
Final pricing is based on cohort size, support level, reporting requirements and any third-party costs. We state pricing in writing during scoping, and it is never tied to individual outcomes.
Community Workshop
For organizations that want to begin with education and access community needs.
- Financial readiness workshop
- Participant education
- Optional, voluntary next step for those who are interested
- Partner-hosted education, with no pressure to enroll
Sponsored Cohort
For employers, banks, foundations and other funders that want to cover seats for a defined group through a structured 180-day pathway.
- Defined participant group, invited by you and joined by choice
- Assisted DIY pathway access
- Scheduled checkpoints
- Aggregate impact reporting
Program outcomes vary. Sponsorship does not guarantee any participant's result. Each sponsored arrangement is reviewed against the rules that apply to the sponsor and to the participants before it starts.
Rules we hold ourselves and every partner to.
We would rather lose a partnership than put a participant, or your standing with your members, funders or regulators, at risk.
We will never ask you to
- Accept or request payment, gifts or donations connected to participants or enrollments.
- Send us names, case files or any participant or customer information.
- Tell anyone that attending is required or will help them get a service, job, loan or placement.
- Describe FundedCEO™ as your own program, or endorse it.
- Allow sales, sign-ups or payments at your event.
What every partner agrees to
- Get approval under your own board, funder, agency or compliance policies before sharing an invitation.
- Keep attendance voluntary and your own services unconditional.
- Give written permission before we use your name, and only to say who invited participants.
- Use only approved invitation wording, and send anything new to us first.
- Tell us promptly if a participant complains or a regulator contacts you.
Questions serious partners should ask.
Is this a promise to repair someone's credit?
No. We teach people to read and understand their own reports, and to dispute inaccurate items themselves, which is their legal right and costs nothing. We do not promise any score or timeline, and we do not promise to remove accurate information. If a paid service is ever offered, we describe what it does and what it costs in writing before anyone decides.
Does our organization have to pay for every participant?
No. Hosting a workshop is free. If your organization chooses to sponsor seats for a defined group, that is a separate written agreement. Individuals never have to join, and they are never charged without a written explanation first.
Do you pay us, or share revenue, for people who join?
No. Money tied to participants can raise tax, charity-promotion, lending and privacy problems. Churches, nonprofits and banks neither pay us nor receive money from us for participants. This program has no commissions or per-person payments.
Can we see whether the program is working?
Yes, at the group level. Reporting covers attendance and aggregate progress at the checkpoints, combined so no individual can be identified. We report what did not change as well as what did.
Can participants be featured in testimonials or case studies?
Only if the participant chooses to, in writing, with nothing given in exchange, and with a plain note that results vary. We never ask partners to collect or share stories, and no one is pressed to take part.
Can this lead to a mortgage or business funding?
It can help people understand what lenders look at and prepare. We do not make loans, place people with lenders or promise any approval. Lenders make those decisions, and no result is guaranteed.
Can we require members, clients or employees to attend?
No. Attendance must be voluntary, and nothing you provide, from services to jobs to loans, may depend on it.
Is FundedCEO™ a nonprofit?
No. FundedCEO™ is a for-profit company, and some participants may choose a paid FundedCEO™ service. We tell you that up front, keep sales out of your events and explain any cost in writing before a person decides.
Bring financial readiness to the people you already serve.
Tell us about your organization and the community you want to reach. We will use it to discuss whether a workshop or a sponsored cohort is the right fit.
It starts with one short conversation. No pressure, and no cost to host a workshop.
- We reply by email, usually within two business days.
- Nothing here creates an agreement.
- Please do not enter any participant's personal or credit information.
