The people you serve are judged on their credit. Give them a free, honest way to understand it.
We run free, educational Credit Autopsy™ sessions for the people your organization serves. You share an invitation. Nothing is paid for referrals, there are no lists of names, and no sales at your events. If you want to help someone who wants more support, your organization can sponsor their education.
Your mission stays yours. Share the invitation only with your board's or funder's approval, and never as a condition of any of your services.
FundedCEO™ is a for-profit company. Some attendees may later choose a paid program, which we disclose up front. We do not guarantee credit-score changes, approvals, jobs or any outcome. The Credit Autopsy™ session is free. Additional FundedCEO™ services may carry a fee, which is explained in writing before anyone decides.
The people you serve walk in with a hundred questions and no one to ask about the one that follows them everywhere: their credit.
You already know these moments. They show up at intake, in a job-readiness class, and in the follow-up call about why a housing or job application went nowhere. Here is where it shows up, and what a free, educational session helps participants understand.
A participant is denied an apartment and doesn't know why.
→Learns how to read their own reports and what screeners commonly look at.
A job seeker is told a credit check is part of the hiring process.
→Learns what an employer may see, and which items they can dispute themselves for free.
A client has collections they didn't know existed.
→Sees what is on all three of their own reports, in one place.
A client keeps paying a high rate because nobody explained how rates are set.
→Learns what commonly influences a rate, with no promise about any one lender.
A participant was pitched "credit repair" and asks whether it's legitimate.
→Gets a straight-talking, no-guarantee, no-pressure resource, with any cost explained in writing first.
A returning citizen or recovering family is rebuilding from zero.
→Learns where to start, at their own pace.
A small-business owner in your program can't get approved.
→Learns what lenders look at in personal and business files.
A client's report has an error and they don't know they can dispute it.
→Learns how to dispute inaccurate items for free, without paying anyone.
Educational only. No score change, approval, job or timeline is promised, and every lender and employer decides on its own.
I've needed a roadmap, too.
In 2020 I filed Chapter 7 and had to rebuild, using what I had learned at Morgan Stanley, HUD and Capital One and earlier as a loan officer and a realtor. I know what it is to be judged on a file nobody ever explained to you.
FundedCEO™ is a for-profit company, and it is education first. It does not replace nonprofit counseling, your programs or your funding relationships. One person's story is not a prediction of anyone's results.
No one is paid for referrals. Here is why.
Working with a for-profit company carries real risks for a mission-driven organization, and we would rather design around them than hope they never come up. Tax-exempt organizations must serve a public purpose, not private interests. Payments that come with advertising or endorsements can be taxed as business income. Charity-promotion laws in many states regulate ads saying a purchase benefits a charity. Public workforce agencies add conflict-of-interest rules. So nothing is paid to you for referrals, and any sponsorship pays for a person's education, never for a referral.
Partner
- Who runs the sessionFundedCEO™, on our own platform. You share the link or invite your group.
- What you giveAn invitation. Optionally, a sponsorship that covers a person's education. No data, no endorsement.
- What participants getA free, educational walkthrough of their own credit reports and a short priority list.

- Your nameUsed only to say who invited them, and only with your written permission.
The things that put a mission at risk
- Referral fees or revenue sharesNo referral fees, and no "a portion of every enrollment goes to you." Those can raise tax and state charity-promotion issues.
- EndorsementsWe don't ask you to endorse us. A paid endorsement can be treated as advertising income.
- Lists and recordsWe don't accept names, case files or participant data from you.
- Operate under your nameNonprofits are often outside credit-repair laws. We are a for-profit company and are not, so we never run services under your banner.
- Conditions or pressureYour services never depend on attending, and we don't press anyone to buy.
Your mission stays yours.
We run one educational session and keep it separate from your programs, your funding and your client relationships.

- Invite the people you serve, using approved wording.
- Keep every service unconditional on attending.

Rules we hold ourselves and every partner to.
We would rather lose a partner than put a participant, or your standing with your funders, at risk.
We will never ask you to
- Accept or request referral payments, gifts or donations connected to participants or enrollments.
- Send us names, case files or any participant information.

What every partner agrees to
- Get approval under your own board, funder or agency policies before you share the invitation.

- Keep staff from accepting compensation or gifts from FundedCEO™.
- Use only approved wording, and send anything new to us first.
Questions organizations ask first.
Do you pay nonprofits or workforce agencies?
No. We don't pay referral fees or per-enrollment grants. Money tied to referrals can raise tax-exemption, public-funding and charity-promotion issues, so we keep referrals unpaid.
Can our organization sponsor someone's education?
Yes. Any organization can pay for a person who wants more support. It covers the education that person receives, is agreed in writing, and is never tied to referrals. The person stays in control, and you see only what they choose to share.
Can you donate a portion of enrollments to our organization?
No. Advertising that a purchase will benefit a charity is regulated in many states, and it can create pressure on participants to buy. We keep any giving separate from sales and never promote it to participants as a reason to enroll.
Is the workshop really education, or a sales pitch?
It is education, and we are a for-profit company. Some attendees will choose a paid FundedCEO™ program. We explain that up front. We offer paid options only through a separate, optional call, we explain costs in writing before anyone commits, and we never sell or collect payment at your event.
Do you collect participant information from us?
No. Participants register themselves. We never ask for names, case files or results. You receive anonymous attendance counts only.
Can we require clients or job seekers to attend?
No. Attendance must be voluntary, and none of your services, placements or benefits should depend on it. Our Partner Terms require that.
Can we co-brand or use your logo?
Only with written permission from both sides, and only to say who invited participants. We don't use endorsement language, and we don't ask for promotional endorsements.
Will you guarantee anyone a job or approval?
No. We don't guarantee score changes, deletion of accurate information, approval, employment or any outcome. Every lender and employer decides on its own.
Will you go through our review?
Yes. We expect it and will supply a due-diligence package. We would rather be vetted than skipped.
Is it really free for participants?
The session is free and educational. Participants pull their own reports through our credit-monitoring provider, which currently offers a $1 trial for the first 7 days and then $29.90 a month unless the participant cancels. Its terms are shown on that provider's sign-up page, and your staff should read them before recommending it. If a participant is interested in a paid FundedCEO™ service, we explain it and its cost in writing first.
