Financial Pathways of the Piedmont

Financial Pathways of the Piedmont is local nonprofit agency that has served the Winston Salem area and surrounding communities for more than forty years. During 2018 we served 3912 clients of record and also directly benefitted the estimated 12,187 family members of these clients.

Many area residents struggle with debt, lost jobs, or low wages. Some lack the financial literacy to solve common money problems, and many feel shame and blame themselves. Our expert, certified financial educators and counselors offer confidential, caring assistance, free or for a very low fee. We help individuals and families resolve debt; learn to budget and use credit wisely; avoid foreclosure and other financial crises; and set and meet financial goals such as saving for education or for homeownership. We serve clients via classes in financial literacy and other specialized topics; one-on-one counseling and coaching; place-based interventions; and outreach to diverse communities through use of a mobile financial capability unit.
