Level the financial playing field for immigrants

We’re working to ensure every immigrant has the knowledge to navigate U.S. financial systems. Our practical, accessible personal finance course helps immigrants break the cycle of living paycheck-to-paycheck and plan their financial futures.

Our Vision

Financial security for every immigrant in the U.S.

We believe every immigrant deserves the chance to ensure a secure financial future for themselves and their families.

At Out of the Mattress, we’re working toward a country where all of us, immigrants included, have the financial skills to build lasting peace of mind.

The Challenge

Navigating finances in a new country with no map

With no credit, it’s hard to get set up. High living costs and family obligations back home can make saving seem impossible.

Seeing people who grew up in the U.S. so far ahead, it’s easy to lose hope. And with serious gaps in the existing personal finance courses, even building a budget is a major hurdle.

Our Mission

Ensure equal access through free, practical finance education

Most financial education doesn’t reflect immigrants’ reality. That’s why we offer free, practical courses that respect diverse cultural traditions and expectations.

We meet immigrants where they are to help them reframe limiting backgrounds and master the tools to navigate U.S. financial systems.
