The CEO and Founder, Antomius Wise, started Wise Tax Strategies (WTS), an innovative counseling program under WPSM, as a solution to assist with ending domestic violence situations and addressing various other causes. During evaluations of individuals, he identified a significant gap in financial literacy, which could strain relationships and potentially lead individuals back into domestic violence situations. In response, he developed a curriculum, courses, and strategies aimed at helping individuals understand how to gain rewards from the government for providing value to society and fostering economic growth with a servant’s heart. The program proved so effective that it was offered to the public as a donation to raise funds for the organization, which included a membership component. Importantly, all proceeds (100%) from WTS directly support the missions of WPSM.

In conjunction with our financial literacy initiatives, we are proud to include our Laptops for Hope Program, which donates laptops to organizations and families in need. This program enhances access to technology and has been a tremendous success, allowing us to build bridges with various organizations in our community. Through these partnerships, we have learned about their missions and have actively supported children and families by providing them with essential laptops. Given the success of these endeavors, we have expanded our efforts to provide financial literacy, empowerment, and economic education to youth and adults in the communities we serve. We are also honored to have received the 2024 Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) Grant from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for our initiatives.

Our objective is to empower individuals to understand the four components of Financial Health (Spend, Save, Borrow, and Plan), enabling them to make better economic decisions for themselves and their families. We are committed to ensuring that everyone has access to reliable resources for learning about finances and taxes, with the goal of building economic security and wealth for the future. Additionally, we seek to protect individuals from financial abuse and exploitation, regardless of their age, gender, race, or financial status.

WPSM has assisted individuals nationwide through our financial literacy initiatives. Our programs offer both virtual and in-person sessions, including one-on-one consultations, personalized financial counseling, professional networking events, panel discussions, and online courses—all of which have proven to be incredibly successful. Through our ongoing efforts, including the Laptops for Hope Program, we continue to strive towards making a positive impact in our communities.
