About GreenPath
Our mission is to empower people to lead financially healthy lives. We are a national nonprofit focused on financial wellness for everyone. People have turned to us for nearly 60 years as their guide through financial crises: overwhelming debt, foreclosure, bankruptcy, or credit challenges. Today, we work to strengthen financial wellness at every step of the financial journey. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people improve their financial health by working with us.
Financial wellness is a key factor in people’s freedom to pursue their dreams. We envision a world where people are ready for life’s ups and downs, and we all have the tools we need to accomplish our financial goals. That’s why we set a bold 10-year goal to remix the American Dream so it works for everyone.
The GreenPath Difference
Our guiding principle is to put people at the center of everything we do. Empathy coaching, human-centered design and behavioral economics practices anchor our work in meeting people’s needs.
The People Behind GreenPath
The people behind GreenPath are caring, compassionate and creative. This is more than a job for most of us. We are on a mission to make it easier for people to be financially well.
The Win-Win-Win
Partnerships with others enable us to impact financial health on a large scale. We collaborate to design and deliver financial health services that are a win for people, for our partners, and for GreenPath.
We intend to build a new financial culture and system that works for everyone. Whatever your version of the American Dream, financial health can get you closer to it. We’re here to make it easier for people to be financially well.
