1 Million Black Kids Saving

WHAT IS THE DRAFTED TO FINANCIAL FREEDOM MOVEMENT? 

This is a Black History Month initiative to help 1 Million Black and Brown children in America, ages 0-18,  to open savings accounts with culturally-relevant financial literacy.   

Research from Washington University shows that kids who have savings accounts in their names are 6X more likely to go to college.

A companion study shows that kids who have savings accounts in their names are 4X more likely to own stocks as young adults  - no matter how much is in those accounts.

By getting 1 Million Black children access to Goalsetter savings accounts with fun, digital financial literacy, we are helping future generations to obtain both the knowledge and the savings habits that will transform their futures, and bring them one step closer to financial equity and freedom. 

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

SPONSOR A KID...OR TEN!  Goalsetter is partnering with The YMCA, Eagle Academy, Fund 2 Foundation, NAF.org, the East Bay Youth Development Center, and other non-profit organizations across America to give savings accounts with fun, game-based financial literacy to underprivileged Black and Brown youth.
