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.

That’s why we set a bold 10-year goal to remix the American Dream so it works for everyone.
