Pro bono financial planning

Are you a musician facing extreme financial distress due to low income, credit card debt, student loans, bankruptcy, or owing back taxes?

This program is designed exclusively for musicians facing financial hardships. We provide essential financial guidance to help you navigate difficult times and build a more secure future.

Eligibility: This program is specifically tailored for low-income musicians who are experiencing significant financial challenges. We kindly ask that only individuals facing genuine financial hardship apply.

Non-client basis: Please note that this program is offered strictly on a pro bono basis (no cost). Participants will not be considered clients of Motif Planning. The goal is to offer complimentary assistance without any future obligations.

Session duration: Each participant is entitled to a one-hour financial planning session with our experienced and compassionate advisors. During this time, we’ll assess your financial situation and provide personalized advice to help you create a viable plan for a more stable financial future.
