The Foundation for Financial Planning is awarding a record $678,000 in grants to 23 nonprofit organizations across 16 states in 2025.
The selected grant recipients represent a wide range of organizations, according to the announcement, each committed to empowering individuals and families with pro bono financial guidance.
Pro bono clients served by the funded programs will include such groups as military veterans, small-business owners, families affected by cancer and underserved women. Volunteers will advise clients on issues like budgeting, debt reduction, obtaining home ownership and financial recovery after life-altering events.
Among the organizations that will receive support is Family Housing Resources in Tucson, Arizona, which is the 2025 recipient of the foundation's Alexandra Armstrong Innovation Grant.
“Family Housing Resources is very grateful for this grant," Bryan Perez, FHR’s education program developer, said in a statement. "Before connecting with FFP, we were unable to provide pro bono financial planning to our Latino families. We look forward to seeing how these services will positively impact our clients, particularly single mothers who are striving to secure their children's financial future.”

FFP is also continuing its commitment to advancing economic equity through its Communities of Color Initiative, funded in partnership with BNY Mellon’s Pershing, with additional support from AssetMark. Initiative grantee organizations are working to close systemic gaps by providing financial education, planning and entrepreneurial support.
New for 2025, FFP is now supporting Triage Cancer. In addition to its focus on legal and practical issues that arise after a cancer diagnosis, Triage will connect cancer patients and their caregivers to volunteer CFP professionals, helping them manage treatment-related expenses and alleviate the financial burden of cancer.
FFP is also strengthening its support for military and veteran families by awarding grants to two new organizations: Veterans Multi-Service Center in Philadelphia and Project Sanctuary in Granby, Colorado.
On Jan. 15, FFP opened applications for its 2025 grants cycle, with funding to be made available in January 2026. Eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations are invited to apply by visiting FFPprobono.org/grants. The application process will close April 30.
