About Us
Upsolve is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that empowers low-income and working-class families to improve their financial situation and access their legal rights. We do this in four ways:
Our free online education. We have thousands of free educational articles to help Upsolve users access their legal rights and overcome financial hardship. Our goal is to be a Khan Academy-like brand for personal finance and legal education.
Our technology tools. We built the first “TurboTax for bankruptcy” to empower families to relieve their debt after financial shocks like losing a job or a medical emergency. We also have tools to help families receive free evaluations from private lawyers. We plan to launch many more additional tools to help families overcome legal and financial complexity.
Our online community. Dealing with debt and financial hardship is a lonely experience. We give people a place to provide emotional support and information to each other as they rebuild their lives.
Our advocacy. In the long term, we aim to fundamentally reform a financial and legal system that shuts out everyday Americans. We advocate for simplifying our legal and financial systems and empowering frontline nonprofit professionals to meet the needs of low-income and working-class families who cannot afford legal fees.
