Our Programs
We deliver joyful, hands-on financial education that meets people where they are and equips them with real-life money skills.
Community Programs (P.U.S.H. Initiative)
Our P.U.S.H. Initiative focuses on one simple goal: making sure every child has a financial literacy book of their own.
By partnering with schools and community organizations, we place culturally relevant money books into children’s hands—sparking early conversations, confidence, and curiosity around money.
Mission:
To empower children, youth, and families — especially those historically excluded from wealth-building — with the tools, creativity, and confidence to build financially secure futures.
Vision:
A world where financial literacy isn’t
a privilege — it’s a human right.
Core Values:
Accessibility
Cultural Relevance
Joy
Confidence
Connection
Why This
Work Matters
Financial literacy is not a privilege — it is a right.
It provides protection, stability, and the foundation for generational change.
​
Yet too many families, especially those navigating limited access and opportunity, have never received financial education that feels relevant, affirming, or practical.
​
Money knowledge impacts more than finances. It influences confidence, stress, decision-making, and long-term opportunity. When children and caregivers learn together, the ripple effects strengthen households, schools, and entire communities.
​
We believe financial literacy is a tool of liberation — one that helps families build stability today and reshape legacies for tomorrow.
