| Credit Counseling and Debt Management | Part III - 4a - Program Service #1 | Money Management International, Inc. (MMI) provides personal financial counseling and education for individuals needing assistance with budgeting and money management. The consumers who contact MMI do so out of a need for financial guidance from a certified credit counselor. Among consumers counseled by MMI in 2010, 176,070 received free budget and debt counseling sessions. During a budget and debt counseling session, a certified credit counselor will help the consumer assess their financial situation, develop a spending plan, set financial goals and create an action plan. Counseling sessions are conducted by telephone, through the Internet or in-person in one of 120 locations throughout the country (which includes donated office space valued at $48,050). Some consumers seeking budget and debt counseling received both financial guidance from a certified credit counselor and were enrolled in an MMI Debt Management Plan ("DMP") for systematic repayment of certain debts. Teams of certified support counselors located in Sugar Land, TX; Baton Rouge, LA; and Warwick, RI provide administration and support for MMI's DMP clients. The support counselors provide on-going financial counseling and education to clients from the start of their plan through completion. In 2010, the support teams handled over 681,000 in-bound calls from clients and creditors. Continuous improvement and consistent service quality are important traits of MMI employees. As an acknowledgement of our quality service and commitment to continuous improvement, MMI has been granted accreditation from the Council on Accreditation ("COA"). Our teams of analysts conduct extensive audits on all staff providing counseling and support services. Our dedication to quality extends from corporate practices to employee training. We believe that it is critical for our employees to understand the true importance of quality as it relates to every contact with every consumer; therefore, it is corporate policy that every debt counselor and support counselor receives in-depth training prior to counseling a consumer. In addition, all counselors are required to be independently certified through the National Foundation for Credit Counseling's counselor certification program. |
| Housing Counseling and Education | Part III - 4b - Program Service #2 | Money Management International, Inc. (MMI) provides three housing counseling services aimed at saving homes and building communities. These services include: 1. Foreclosure prevention counseling. This program is designed to assist those who have fallen behind on their mortgage payments. MMI works together with the consumer and their mortgage company to help the consumer keep their home and avoid the cost and damage to their credit rating associated with foreclosure. 2. Reverse mortgage counseling educates seniors on the benefits, consequences, options, and process of obtaining a Home Equity Conversion mortgage. 3. MMI assists potential home buyers by educating them on the costs and responsibilities of home ownership. MMI counseled over 112,000 consumers on housing-related issues in 2010. These counseling sessions were conducted by phone by housing counselors in contact centers located in Phoenix, AZ; Sugar Land, TX; Warwick, RI and South Portland, ME, as well as in person in local branch offices throughout the United States. The funding for housing counseling is supported by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling program (NeighborWorks), the Homeownership Preservation Foundation, the United States Treasury's Making Home Affordable program (MHA) and the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency. NOTE: Included in revenue for Program Service #2 (Housing Counseling) is grant funding of $2,391,504 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, $9,201,247 from NeighborWorks America (received either directly from NeighborWorks or from pass-through organizations such as HPF or the National Foundation for Credit Counseling), and $8,920,366 in funding from the Treasury Department's MHA program. This revenue is included in Part VIII, Line 1e (Government Grants and Contributions). |
| Bankruptcy Counseling and Bankruptcy Education | Part III - 4c - Program Service #3 | In September 2005, Money Management International, Inc. (MMI) was approved by the Executive Office for United States Trustees (EOUST) to provide pre-filing bankruptcy counseling and to issue counseling certificates in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code. Pre-filing counseling is available by a variety of delivery methods. In-person bankruptcy counseling is available by appointment in all of the local markets in which we operate. Individuals can also complete a pre-filing counseling session by telephone, Internet or Web chat. In 2010, MMI provided 115,500 pre-filing bankruptcy counseling sessions. MMI is also approved by the EOUST to deliver pre-discharge bankruptcy education services. In 2010, more than 68,000 debtors participated in one of our bankruptcy pre-discharge education programs. This important education program is available by a variety of delivery methods. In-person programs are available in all areas where MMI has a local presence. Telephone and online programs are scheduled at various times, including evenings and weekends, to provide convenient access to all participants. Upon completion of the program, a certificate of participation is issued allowing the individual to proceed with the bankruptcy discharge process. |
| Consumer Education Programs and Community Outreach | Part III - 4d - Program Service #4 | Community outreach and consumer financial education is an integral part of activities performed by Money Management International, Inc. (MMI). MMI's commitment to promote local community-based financial education is perhaps best reflected by its presence in local markets. The Education Department focuses specifically on educating the public on sound personal financial skills and money management principles by developing, delivering, and supporting programs that teach those skills and principles. MMI's Education Department has offices located in states where MMI provides in-person counseling. The department presents at no or very low cost informative financial education seminars and workshops to the general public through schools, community organizations, financial institutions, social service agencies and employers. During 2010, education specialists along with the agency's 143 trained volunteers, provided 28,135 hours of financial literacy education through workshops and outreach events to 166,696 participants. MMI developed the Certified Money Management Volunteer ("CMMV") Program to reach more consumers with financial education programs. Through this program, MMI recruits and trains volunteers from local businesses and community service organizations to teach the importance of financial responsibility. This program has allowed MMI to increase community outreach and further demonstrate its commitment to improving the quality of life in the areas in which MMI operates. The CMMV curriculum includes financial skills-building, budgeting, establishing credit, buying decisions, and planning for the future. These donated services are valued at $120,419. Bilingual certified counselors and volunteers are also available to present programs to Spanish-speaking audiences. MMI's staff of highly trained educational professionals offers seminars that cover a wide range of topics. The types of programs offered include "Understanding Money and Credit"; "Avoiding Identity Theft"; "Avoiding Scams and Fraud"; "First-Time Homebuyer Programs"; "When Income Decreases, but the Bills Don't"; "Planning for the Holidays"; "Ready Willing and Able: Making Positive Financial Change"; "Living on a Fixed Income"; and "Teaching Children about Money". The eight-part "Journey to Financial Security Series" includes information about setting goals and priorities, managing income and expenses, managing important papers, understanding credit reports and credit scores, using credit wisely, keeping debt under control, building savings and creating wealth. Programs are offered for young students from kindergarten to middle school that address distinguishing between wants and needs, making wise spending choices, budgeting, the importance of saving, and how advertising influences spending choices. The types of programs in this series include "Brownie Wants a New Bike"; "The Money Bunnies Take a Vacation"; "Hands on Banking"; and "My Money 101". Older students can take part in programs such as "Credit Reports and Credit Scores"; "Managing Income and Expenses"; "Apartments, Cars and College"; and "Real Money 101". Customized programs are also available. Class participants are given a variety of materials, including workbooks and handouts to supplement the visual aids. All consumers with access to the World Wide Web can take part in education online from the comfort of their home or office through MMI's web site at www.MoneyManagement.org. Online web seminar programs are available to MMI clients and the general public. These seminars consist of a PowerPoint presentation that is facilitated live by an educator. Particpants sign into "Connect Pro" using a web link and a specific telephone number. They can then hear and talk with the educator as well as follow the PowerPoint slides on their computer screen. The web seminars are fully interactive; there are a number of activities to keep participants involved and reinforce what they are learning. These programs are scheduled at times convenient for consumers, and registration is required. The registration schedule and link to the programs is on the home page of our web site. New classes are added regularly, and current classes include: "Budgeting - Making Your Money Count"; "Your Credit Report and Credit Score"; "Put Your Debt on a Diet"; "Keeping the Dream of Homeownership Alive"; "Teaching Children about Money"; and "Let's Talk--Couples and Money". In addition to the in-person workshops and education programs via the Web, the public and clients of MMI can access educational resources on MMI's web site pages which include teacher resources, lesson plans, videos, financial tools, online articles, and a "Q&A" section specifically designed to answer finance-related questions. All of these services are provided to the public free of charge. Many of our at-risk visitors will seek guidance, download materials, sign up for MMI's free weekly education newsletters, and/or submit questions to the MMI "Advice Team". Giving back to local communities through educational opportunities is also important to MMI's employees. Many employees take MMI's message with them to their churches and synagogues, clubs, and trade organizations. They are encouraged to spread the word of wise use of credit and money management by offering free literature and workbooks to their audiences. In 2010, a related support organization (MMI Financial Education Foundation) gave MMI a grant totalling $3.4 million to further our efforts to provide free financial education to the public. |

| Procedures used to determine compensation | Part VI - Policies - Sec. B, Line 15 | Money Management International, Inc.

In addition to this information, even though section 6104 does not require organizations exempt under section 501(C)(3) to disclose their governing documents, conflict of interest policies, or financial statements, MMI has chosen to make such information available for public inspection upon request. |
| Other Changes in Net Assets | Part XI - Reconciliation of Net Assets - Line 5 | Other Changes in Net Assets: Unrealized Investment Gains $896,653 Adjustment to Net Asset balance ($147,498) for contribution of net assets related to MMI Financial Education Foundation, which MMI acquired on Nov.1, 2010. ---------- Total $749,155 |
| Single Audit Procedures | Part XII - Financial Statements and Reporting - Line 3b | The Board of Directors for Money Management International, Inc. (MMI) has established an audit committee which reviews all audited financial statements, the selection of outside auditors, and the process by which the organization is audited. In addition to the regular audit of financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), a Single Purpose audit is performed as required by the Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A-133. This audit is performed because MMI receives grant funding from the US federal government. A Special Purpose audit discloses auditor opinions reqarding MMI's compliance, in all material respects, with the requirements of the Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A-133. |
| Other Functional Expenses | Form 990, PART IX, Line 24 (f) - Other Expenses | Included in Line 24 (f) of Part IX are net costs related to legal actions which occurred during 2007 and 2008. In 2007, Consumerinfo.com sued Money Management International, Inc. (MMI) alleging trademark infringement, breach of contract, and other similar claims concerning a trademark actually owned by MMI (MyScorePlus). During the course of the litigation, MMI ceased offering the MyScorePlus service for reasons unrelated to the litigation. A ruling was issued in 2008 in favor of the plaintiff for approximately $1 million. MMI accrued for that amount in 2008. On appeal, however, the decision of the lower court was reversed and remanded on March 11, 2010. Later in 2010, MMI recognized a gain of approximately $639,000 upon the settlement of the matter as the final settlement amount was less than the amount originally accrued. In 2008, MMI was served with a complaint by six unrelated parties alleging MMI was operating in violation of the Credit Repair Organization Act. Only three of the six named plaintiffs were ever counseled by MMI, and such counseling was a result of a court approved transfer of those clients from AmeriDebt Inc. to MMI. Subsequently, all three clients successfully completed their debt management plans. Throughout the discovery process, MMI argued that these claims were totally without merit since, among other reasons, by nature of MMI's 501(c)(3) non-profit status (which was recently confirmed by the Internal Revenue Service), MMI is not subject to the Credit Repair Organization Act. In an effort to ensure that MMI can fully focus on its mission to improve lives through financial education, basic settlement terms were agreed upon with the plaintiffs. MMI and the class representatives agreed that no part of the settlement should be construed as presumption of guilt, concession or admission of liability, or wrongdoing as to any facts or claims alleged in the complaint. In October 2010, attorneys for the plaintiffs filed an application for preliminary approval of the settlement. MMI settled the litigation for $6.5 million in favor of the plaintiffs, and this liabilty was accrued for in 2010. MMI also recognized approximately $607,000 for legal expenses related to the litigation. On April 28, 2011, the settlement received final approval. |
