We offer a platform for families to build their own accountability system. They set their own goals and trust their peers to support them on their journey. Rather than providing social workers, services, or direction, we create an environment where families come together, empower themselves, and are trusted to improve their lives, in their own way. As they take initiative, families get more, not less, access to resources that can accelerate their efforts.
Families work together and on their own to set goals and find solutions to the problems they face – from child care, to savings, to affording tuition.
Families complete surveys on their activities, finances, and progress through FII’s technology platform, UpTogether.
FII compiles and analyzes data from UpTogether to capture trends among families.
We analyze the data to identify trends and make capital resources available to families. Families use these resources to accelerate their mobility.
We inform stakeholders – foundations, policymakers, and private companies – about what works so that they too can steer resources directly to family-driven solutions.
To accelerate economic mobility for more people, families and individuals can now join FII through its technology platform, UpTogether. They create or join a group to strengthen their personal networks, and support each other in reaching their personal and financial goals. They also complete surveys about their activities and finances.
In return, they are eligible to receive dollars.*
