Our Mission

Wealth for Women is our mission. The Pledgettes is a financial community for values-driven women. We embolden women to align their money to their values so we can all create more powerful financial lives. We believe that when more women take individual action or make money moves, our collective impact grows, leading to healthier, wealthier communities.

Our goal is to abolish the gender wealth gap so that we can live in wealthier and healthier communities.

Day One

The Pledgettes was founded on August 26, 2019. As we work to abolish the gender wealth gap, it seemed fitting to launch on Women’s Equality Day. We celebrate all the women (and allies) that have gone before us to get us to where we are today. We have come a long way and still have a long way to go. The Pledgettes are committed to being a catalyst to abolish the gender wealth gap.

Our Founder, Jenn Uhen, CFEI®

As a mentor and advocate, Founder Jenn Uhen heard from many women that they will start investing “someday,” or growing up they were taught it is rude to talk about money. These money narratives weren’t serving them to have a healthy relationship with money where they could confidently build wealth. Jenn also noted that women who were confident and clear with their financial goals had these “right-time, right-place conversations.” Jenn had a number of those conversations and saw the impact it made her in life.

Combine these conversations with binge-watching The Handmaid’s Tale, researching the gender income and (more important) wealth gaps, and some infuriating realizations and personal experiences, Jenn knew she had to do something. Jenn built The Pledgettes to democratize access to financial experts, build a supportive space for women to evolve their relationship with money, and create connections so no woman is on her financial journey alone.

Jenn and her husband have clear financial goals, which include a diverse portfolio of investment property, retirement accounts, and businesses. All while living a simple (but comfortable) lifestyle, including traveling the country in an Airstream RV.
