As @jimmychen said below, "low-income families are used to dealing with financial challenges, but this one's different." Pls consider supporting their partnership with @GiveDirectly to help lift up families most in need. #FinHealth #COVID19
5/ That’s why we’re teaming up with @GiveDirectly to give $1k to SNAP recipients who are in the most need. The first distributions will start in a few days. We’re only limited by the amount that we can fundraise. Join us at givedirectly.org/covid-19

Was awesome to see the primetime debut of saving and gifting platform @GoalsetterCo on @ABCSharkTank tonight! Instead of yet another birthday gift, help kids save for their dreams instead. @TheFinLab @CFSInnovation #FinHealth

Most Fresh EBT users have very low balances this month, creating a #SNAPGap.
We're announcing that we raised money for @getfullcart to send 600k free meals: prnewswire.com/news-releases…
Policy is the biggest lever, but we'll always do what we can to serve low-income Americans.
February is going to be a challenging month for #hunger in America. @FreshEBT is partnering with Full Cart to send meals to families across the country to bridge the SNAP Meals Gap due to early issuance. Pls consider making a donation! iam.feedingchildreneverywher…
Congrats to @TheFinLab alum @nova_credit and @makethingseven for making the 2019 Forbes Fintech 50 list. I continue to be deeply inspired and energized by the brains, humility and deep commitment to improving consumer #FinHealth of both teams:

Today, @MasonFinanceHQ, a 2018 @TheFinLab company, announced they are now licensed to perform life insurance settlements in CA, AZ, NC, PA, and TN. Read more about how Mason Finance empowers senior citizens to take control of their financial futures.
Great quote from @MasonFinanceHQ - we're having all of our #FinLab founders walking in the shoes of a financially underserved consumer today because the opportunities to impact consumers' financial health are massive and important. xitter.cf/MasonFinanceHQ/status/…
Spending one day with people excluded from the financial system teaches you more than a week looking at data #MyFinX
More than half of people in America struggle with their financial health. Excited and humbled to start working with our newest class of the Financial Solutions Lab!
Instead of fixing its system to handle more traffic, a govn't contractor is preventing consumers from accessing how much money is remaining in their food stamp account via the @FreshEBT app. Low-income Americans are underserved by tech and some industry giants aren't helping.
CFSI and @jpmorgan @chase are looking for startups and nonprofits that are revolutionizing #fintech. Don't miss out on your chance at $250K and support that will add momentum to your company's growth. APPLICATIONS ARE DUE TOMORROW BY 11:59PM PST. hubs.ly/H0bCR4q0

Samar Shah, Head of Operations @hellodigit, on how @CFSInnovation's accelerator helped their company.
"CFSI has often played the role of filling the holes when we didn't know who to ask a question and they have a full bench of utility players."

Improving people's #financialhealth is so much broader than financial services alone. Thank you @JNemorin for helping us convene so many wonderful minds last night who are tackling education, workforce development, healthcare and more. It was inspiring to say the least.
Excited to chat all things #fintech at @galvanizeSF tomorrow evening (3/27). Join me, @cfsinnovation, @hellodigit, @NeedNova and @rexsalisbury for the ins and outs of how technology is bringing financial health to millions of Americans.
