Charities Benefiting from Your Support of WISE^®

Our GAIN AND GIVE! program was established at the first financial education conference in 1977.  Then, the all-volunteer committee pledged to donate surplus funds from the conference to Girls, Inc. and Working Wardrobes.  Additional organizations have been added over the years including Human Options, Women of Vision, and Girl Scout Council of Orange County.  Since 1977, over $80,000 has been donated to philanthropic organizations.
