Bridging The Gap Between Families In Need And Those That Can Help
Lighthouse Financial Foundation was created to help individuals and families in Southwest Washington and the Portland Metro Area that seek financial wellness. In partnership with our honored donors and network of service partners, we provide access to financial education, affordable products and services to those seeking financial wellness.
By creating a solid base through financial education and affordable financial services, these individuals are able to work through crises when they occur. We will help financially stabilize families in need and give them the tools they need to create a budget for today and plan for tomorrow.
I had to look into the future and took little steps along the way to get to the next goal and it was difficult since I had made many mistakes in my life. Despite the hardships in earning my college degree it was worth it, the difficulty in improving my credit score it was worth it, and getting a job it was worth it. Having people believe in me and believing in myself was also key.

Help With Financial Stability
Even before the recent pandemic affected so many, tens of thousands of our neighbors in our communities struggled to meet the basic needs of their families. With limited resources, many have to work multiple jobs, living in fear that a car repair, medical issue, or any other unexpected event could have dire consequences.
Who We Help
We empower you to take control of your financial well-being
Financial instability doesn’t affect just one demographic. It could be a single parent trying to meet the needs of their family, an individual nearing retirement that was unable to prepare financially, or a working couple saddled with consumer debt and transportation worries. No matter your situation, Lighthouse Financial Foundation wants to give you the tools to improve your circumstances and build a solid financial base.
Our partners will work with you to improve your financial well-being, learn how to create and manage a budget, and help with credit restoration and debt consolidation. Our network of partners has helped people just like yourself get home loans, prepare taxes, and relieve immediate financial distress.
