Money Management International (MMI) is a United States non-profit that provides consumers with free credit counseling and education.[5][6][7] In about 25 percent of its consultations, it helps consumers develop a debt management or repayment plan.[5] MMI is funded primarily by creditors.[6] Money Management International was founded in 1997 by six financial consulting organizations that were members of the Consumer Credit Counseling Services (CCCS) network.[1]
Over time, Money Management International merged with more than 20 credit counseling organizations.[1] The company acquired the accounts of AmeriDebt as part of AmeriDebt's bankruptcy proceedings in 2005.[8] In 2006 it released the microsite, regiftable.com, to promote regifting as a way to reduce spending.[9][10] In 2008, MMI introduced its "Thirty Steps" educational program on responsible money management.[11]
