About National Foundation for Credit Counseling
National Foundation for Credit Counseling Inc centers its grantmaking on housing, credit, and other financial counseling, with repeated support for the same counseling agencies across multiple years. Money Management International received $451,068 in 2024 and $280,650 in 2025 for housing, credit, and other financial counseling, while Greenpath Inc was funded in 2023 and 2024 for the same purpose. That pattern points to a funder that backs service delivery, not one-off projects, and uses grants to sustain counseling capacity at organizations serving consumers with debt, budgeting, homeowner, and student-loan concerns. The foundation’s recent awards also show a broad network of nonprofit counseling providers rather than a single delivery model. Springboard Nonprofit Consumer Credit Management Inc, Garden State Consumer Credit Counseling Inc, Cambridge Credit Counseling Corp, and Consumer Education Services Inc all appear among the larger grants. The recipient list includes community-based nonprofits, specialized credit counseling agencies, and education-focused institutions, all tied to practical financial counseling services. Across the sample, the foundation funds organizations that help people navigate credit challenges, manage debt, and access housing-related counseling services.
