WISER, the Women’s Institute for a Secure Retirement, is a nonprofit financial services organization based in Washington, DC, dedicated to improving the long-term financial quality of life for women. It focuses specifically on the unique retirement-related challenges women face, offering training workshops, research, educational materials, media outreach, policy analysis, and advocacy to help women secure adequate retirement income. Its work targets women who are at greater risk of financial insecurity—older women, women of color, those with lower to moderate incomes, caregivers, and individuals affected by divorce or widowhood—by providing financial education and resources designed to restore basic financial control and reduce vulnerability to exploitation. In addition to its education and advocacy activities, WISER has operated the National Resource Center on Women and Retirement for more than two decades, collaborating with the Administration on Aging to support vulnerable populations and bring practical retirement guidance to families. The organization operates within the financial services sector and positions itself as a specialized resource addressing women’s retirement planning needs from a non-profit perspective. A notable recent development is the launch of Five Wishes by WISER Women, as announced in 2022.
