About FUFund
FUFund is built to challenge and remove the financial barriers that block women’s access to justice.
For Women
By Women
FUFund was created with a simple but powerful belief: justice should not be determined by income.
Every day, women face overwhelming legal expenses—divorce proceedings, custody battles, protective orders, and other critical legal matters that directly impact their safety, families, and futures. Too often, the greatest barrier isn’t the legal process itself—it’s the cost.
FUFund exists to dismantle the financial barriers women face within the legal system.
Why We Exist
The legal system can be complex, intimidating, and expensive. For many women, legal debt becomes an additional burden layered onto already difficult circumstances. We believe no woman should have to choose between her financial stability and her legal rights.
FUFund was built to confront that reality head-on.
Through the collective power of mutual aid, we mobilize community-funded capital to help women remedy qualifying legal debt. This isn’t charity—it’s solidarity. It’s people showing up for one another in tangible, transformative ways.
How It Works
Each quarter, five recipients are thoughtfully selected to receive support through the FUFund. Funding is raised through mutual aid—community members contributing directly to help women overcome legal debt.
Selected recipients have their qualifying legal debt reimbursed through the Fund, providing immediate financial relief and a renewed path forward.
While we encourage eligible individuals to apply, submission of an application does not guarantee selection. Applications are carefully reviewed based on established criteria and available funds to ensure responsible stewardship of community contributions.
Our Vision
We envision a future where:
-
Women can access legal representation without fear of financial ruin.
-
Cost transparency in legal services becomes standard practice.
-
Communities actively participate in supporting one another through structured mutual aid.
-
Financial setbacks within the legal system do not define a woman’s future.
FUFund stands boldly at the intersection of justice, community, and financial empowerment.
When women face legal debt, we don’t look away.
We organize. We fund. We support. We move forward—together.
Meet the Founders
Founder
Stephany Faublas
Faublas is a creative entrepreneur, single parent, and sole provider who speaks candidly about having “f*cked up the bag”—a result of limited financial literacy, unstable economic conditions, and doing whatever it took to survive. She has also faced her own legal challenges within the family court system, experiences that revealed just how deeply the financial cost of leaving can impact women and families. Her journey is rooted in hard lessons and hard-earned clarity: financial control is the foundation of true freedom.
She built what she once needed.
Today, Faublas is the resource she wished she had—providing funding, education, and strategic support to women navigating the same financial and legal hurdles she once faced. Her work is about reclaiming power, expanding access, and challenging systems that were never designed with women in mind.
Co-Founder
Dennaya Famous
Famous began her career in the fast-paced world of fashion, where creativity, precision, and vision were everything. But her true calling lived beyond aesthetics. It was rooted in the intersection of money, strategy, and empowerment.
After witnessing the glaring lack of accessible financial services tailored to women, especially women of color, Dennaya made a decisive and unapologetic pivot into finance becoming a financial advisor. She recognized that wealth-building spaces often excluded the very communities that needed them most, and she was determined to change that so she founded New Fund Investments.
Today, she merges her creative insight with a sharp financial acumen to help close the wealth gap and equip women with the tools to build lasting confidence and long-term security. Her approach is both strategic and human—grounded in clarity, accessibility, and action.
