A Year of Impact at RDI Financial Wellness

At RDI Financial Wellness, 2024 was a year of transformation, service, and renewed commitment to financial empowerment across Montana. With deep roots going back to 1968, our mission remains focused on helping individuals and families build financial resilience through personalized support, education, and access to opportunity.


This year, we served over 4,000 clients—93% of whom were Montana residents—through one-on-one counseling, financial workshops, and tax preparation.


Our RDI Tax Help program alone returned over $4.4 million to local communities, helping families access critical credits like the EITC and save over $700,000 in tax preparation fees.


Our housing program helped dozens of families avoid foreclosure, while our financial coaching led to numerous credit score increases and empowered participants to reduce over personal debt. We expanded support to veterans, seniors, and individuals with disabilities, managing $3.4 million in pooled trust assets and issuing thousands in assistive technology loans.


From new AmeriCorps partnerships to community education workshops, 2024 proved that collaboration and compassion are at the heart of sustainable change. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished—and we’re just getting started.

2025 Impact Report In 2025, RDI Financial Wellness continued to walk alongside individuals and families across Montana as they worked toward greater financial stability, opportunity, and peace of mind. Thanks to the support of 65 dedicated volunteers, we served 3,321 people statewide, with 93% identifying as low to moderate income. Our focus remains clear, ensuring our services reach those who need them most and create meaningful, lasting impact. This year, we provided 263 financial and housing counseling sessions, helping individuals and families navigate challenges, build confidence, and make informed financial decisions. Through housing counseling and education, we worked to prevent foreclosure, support renters, and guide future homeowners on their path forward. Our Montana Families Trust continued to provide long term security for individuals living with disabilities, managing 91 active trusts and approximately $4 million in pooled assets. At the same time, our Assistive Technology Loan program expanded access to essential tools and equipment that improve independence and quality of life. One of the most visible impacts of our work continues through our Tax Help program. In 2025, we helped 2,765 taxpayers file their returns for free, returning $2.64 million to Montanans and saving them $801,850 in preparation fees. These are dollars that stay in our communities, supporting families, local businesses, and economic stability. Beyond the numbers, this work is about people. It is about a parent gaining confidence in their finances, a senior staying in their home, or a family accessing resources that create new opportunities. We are deeply grateful to our volunteers, partners, and community members who make this work possible. Together, we are building stronger financial futures across Montana.
