Sound Outreach

Sound Outreach is a non-profit organization based in Tacoma, Washington. Founded in 1996, the organization employs 15 people and generates revenue of over $10,000. Sound Outreach focuses on empowering economically vulnerable households through financial literacy and support. For over two decades, Sound Outreach has provided crucial health, housing, and social services to individuals and families in Pierce County, Washington. Building on this foundation, the organization has since expanded its mission to encompass financial empowerment. Through the "Sound Outreach Triangle," they offer intensive financial counseling, a loan guarantee fund, and access to community lending institutions, aiming to increase income and expand opportunities for wealth-building. This unique approach blends evidence-based microfinance principles with data-driven strategies to deliver innovative financial services not traditionally found in the non-profit sector. In addition to financial services, Sound Outreach provides employment coaching to create a comprehensive support system for their clients. Their target goals include helping clients achieve a 700 credit score, a $26/hr household wage (for a family of four), and three months of savings.
