DescriptionGrantsExpenses
WE ARE A MISSION-DRIVEN NONPROFIT THAT DOES ONE THING WELL: WE INTRODUCE YOUNG PEOPLE TO THE POWER OF SPENDING WITH A PLAN. FOR A DECADE, WE'VE SEEN THAT LETTING SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN WORK ON PERSONAL FINANCE PROBLEMS THAT MATTER TO THEM IN REAL TIME ("SHOULD I BUY THIS ITEM OR EXPERIENCE?") CONVINCES YOUNG PEOPLE THAT MONEY SMARTS ARE WORTH PURSUING LONG BEFORE THEY BECOME ADULT INCOME EARNERS. THERE IS MORE TO BEING GOOD WITH MONEY THAN WISE SPENDING HABITS. HOWEVER, THINKING BEFORE BUYING ALLOWS YOUNG PEOPLE TO DISCOVER THAT ANYONE CAN ACCESS AND USE FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVES. THIS INSIGHT TENDS TO GROW INTO BETTER SAVINGS HABITS, INTEREST IN INVESTING FOR THE FUTURE, AND A LIFELONG SENSE THAT FINANCIAL CONFIDENCE IS FOR EVERYONE.OUR MINDFUL SPENDING WORKSHOPS (IN-PERSON AND ONLINE) GIVE YOUNG PEOPLE A PRACTICAL ON-RAMP TO BECOMING GOOD WITH MONEY, IN CLASSROOMS, COMMUNITY CENTERS OR AROUND THE KITCHEN TABLE.$0$0
