Your Gift Teaches the Next Class
For years, our founder taught free financial literacy classes in Oakland — budgeting, credit, banking, how to spot fraud and predatory lending — paying for everything out of her own pocket. In 2025, MIFiPower was formally established as a nonprofit so this work can grow beyond what one person can fund alone.
Your donation funds the classes: workshop materials, space, and the outreach that fills the seats. We’re a tiny, grassroots organization — our entire first year ran on $1,800, and with it we kept a family housed while their father was in detention. Your gift goes that far here.
Why it matters
A family bought their home in 1996 for $95,000. Nearly thirty years later, they faced foreclosure. We organized their paperwork and spent six months calling lawyers, looking for one who would take the case on contingency. Twenty lawyers said no.
By the time families reach us in crisis, the system has often already decided. That’s why our fight starts earlier — with education before the crisis, not after. Read more of their stories on our Our Impact page.
