Mission

Midas's work directly supports matched savings programs and includes advocacy for fairer laws and regulations, including abolishing predatory debt collection practices and unfair use of credit reports.


Vision


Midas envisions a Massachusetts where individuals and families can thrive financially.


Values

Strategic Framework Overview


Our strategic framework centers on advancing economic equity by rebuilding and strengthening our work through scaling, expanding, and innovating asset-building strategies. As a membership organization, we serve as a hub and administrator, building nonprofit capacity by managing asset-building tools, advancing policy advocacy, and providing shared expertise and infrastructure to direct-service partners. Together, this approach drives collective impact and works to close the racial and wealth gaps.
