What happens after a request is submitted
A request starts the planning conversation. The event is booked only after the important details have been reviewed and accepted.
Money Fit reviews the event
We review the audience, preferred topic, date, format, location, and educational goals.
Availability and fit are confirmed
Money Fit determines whether Todd is available and whether an existing presentation fits the audience and setting.
Fees and logistics are reviewed
The organization and Money Fit confirm pricing, discounts, travel, timing, recording needs, and other event details.
The presentation is scheduled
The event is placed on the schedule after the format, date, responsibilities, and terms are agreed to.
Financial education should feel useful before the session ends
People are more likely to use financial education when it connects to the choices sitting in front of them: paying bills, understanding credit, handling debt, saving for emergencies, talking about money, or recognizing habits that quietly drain a budget.
A good presentation does not shame the audience or bury people in jargon. It gives them enough structure to think more carefully, ask better questions, and take a responsible next step.

A 50% discount may apply for 501(c)(3) agencies, nonprofit schools, and government agencies. Discount eligibility and final pricing must be confirmed before scheduling.

Earlier requests are generally easier to review and schedule, especially for in-person events, travel, or busy seasons. Short-notice requests may be submitted, but availability is not guaranteed.
Can we request a recording of a virtual presentation?
Recorded virtual presentations may be available. The fee schedule lists $95 per half-hour for an edited, co-branded, electronically delivered recording. Recording rights, format, and delivery terms must be confirmed before the event.
What should we do if the topic we need is not listed?

Are these presentations individualized financial advice?
No. Presentations are for general financial education. They are not legal, tax, investment, credit repair, lending, or individualized financial advice. People who need help with their own budget or debt situation can review nonprofit credit counseling separately.
