One shared belief.
Knowledge belongs to everyone.Strong families build strong communities.Service turns caring into action.THE REASON WE SHOW UP
You shouldn’t have to figure it all out on your own.
A new country. A growing family. A first paycheck. An unexpected loss. Life brings financial decisions long before most of us are taught how to make them.
Financial Literacy Seva Foundation exists to close that gap. We meet people in the places they trust—community centers, places of worship, libraries, and online—with clear explanations and room to ask real questions.
Because financial knowledge can change one family’s future.
Shared knowledge can change a community.
PRACTICAL EDUCATION. EVERYDAY IMPACT.
Life doesn’t come with a manual.
Let’s build one together.
Understand the essentials. Know what to ask.
Take your next step with greater confidence.

OUR COMMUNITY PARTNER
Two years of coming together.
One hunger-free vision.
We’re proud to count Run2Feed among our partners. Our community has helped organize and support its annual Run/Walk for a Hunger Free World across 2025 and 2026, bringing families, volunteers, and businesses together around hunger relief.
This community service story began before the foundation’s IRS recognition in March 2026. Each event has its own organizers, sponsors, and beneficiaries.

GOOD QUESTIONS WELCOME
A little clarity.
A confident next step.
Don’t see your question here?
Let’s talk
Are the financial education workshops free?
Yes. Our community financial education workshops are offered at no cost to attendees. Hosts can help with space and outreach; sponsors can help cover delivery costs. Topics and availability are coordinated before an event is confirmed.
Is everyone welcome, or only immigrant families?
Everyone is welcome. We pay particular attention to families navigating unfamiliar financial systems, including immigrant communities, while keeping our learning opportunities open to people of every background.
Will I be asked to buy insurance or financial products?
No purchase is required to attend. Foundation workshops focus on education. They are not a substitute for personalized investment, tax, legal, or insurance advice. Sponsors do not receive attendee contact lists.
How do we bring a workshop to our organization?
Use “Bring a workshop to your community” to prepare an email introduction. Tell us your organization, location, audience, and the topics that matter most. We’ll discuss format, timing, accessibility, and educator availability with you.
Can I make a gift or use my employer’s matching program?
Contact us for current giving instructions and any documents your employer requests. Use the legal name Financial Literacy Seva Foundation and EIN 41-4268185. Matching eligibility is determined by your employer. This site does not collect online payments or payment-card information.
How can my business support the foundation?
Sponsor educational activities, host a session, offer meeting space or printing, or organize an employee volunteer team. We’ll agree on the scope and any recognition together. Sponsorship support does not give a business influence over educational content or access to participant details.
What is the relationship with Run2Feed?
Run2Feed is a community partner. Our community helped organize and support its annual events in 2025 and 2026. Run2Feed’s hunger-relief work and the foundation’s financial education mission are distinct activities that share a commitment to service.
