LeanLifeCoach – great post and thanks for the link to our organization – SaveTogether. We have savers from 6 programs across the country (Boston, Washington DC, Spokane, WA, and San Francisco).

You can make a donation on our site and 100% of our funds will be used as a match to support a saver in one of partner programs.

- David, glad to share... it looks like a really good program to me. I'm also contemplating donating some time as a financial counselorFS - Care Not Cash also looks like an innovative way to help those that need it. I imagine SF has a line on some cheap properties that can be used. Seems to me these same people could be candidates for the IDA program. Check out the SaveTogether.org program in SF.

Didn’t realize there was an IDA thing either. Thnx for sharing! Kind of like the “Care not Cash” program for the homeless here in San Fran.

This was an excellent idea for a post. I didn’t know IDA’s existed and I’ll have to spend some time looking through the list to find one I like. They’ve been pushing us at work to donate to the United Way but I think I like this idea better, because I have the same concerns as you about charities’ overhead.
