DotWell's 2012 DFSI Marathon Fundraising continues! The marathon is over, however our efforts to raise funds for The Dorchester FAMILY School Initiative (DFSI) continues because we still have not met our goal. We will continue to support before-and-after school programming and tutoring in addition to other support services, but only if we reach our goal of $25,000. Those funds will be matched dollar for dollar and outreach and educational programs can be funded and provide tremendous benefits to the partner schools and the community. Our fundraising efforts will continue until June, if you can donate to Team DotWell please click here. All money raised will help DFSI to support before-school and after-school programming, coordinate social and emotional services within schools and connect families with community program and services. For more information, contact Tom Powers at tom.powers@dotwell.org with questions.

Fiscal Health Vital Signs Fiscal Health Vital Signs (FHVS) is a tool developed and used by DotWell to “diagnose” an individual’s fiscal health. This tool was assembled from extensive experience training, coaching, and developing effective financial interventions for low to moderate income households. Further, just as in the clinical setting where those with chronic disease are assisted in managing their condition, those with chronic fiscal health problems diagnosed by the FHVS tool receive a financial wellness plan and on-going coaching. Through the FHVS program, a fiscal health case manager evaluates a client, “prescribes” specific actions that will improve their fiscal health, and develops a “treatment plan” to help clients stay in track.
