Project Title: Free Financial Literacy Programming to Children Across the U.S.
Project Description:

FitMoney, based in MA, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit with a mission to bring free, unbiased financial literacy programs to all children in grades K-12 through state-of-the-art digital and in-class curricula. By teaching financial literacy early when habits and behaviors are formed, we can build financially fit students, giving them the power to break generational cycles of poverty.

FitMoney has seen an unprecedented amount of growth in the last year. We now empower more than 115,000 K-12 students nationally, including 5,023 in schools across MA, to build financially secure futures through:

$uperSquad (K-3): Digital game-based platform that makes financial literacy fun through interactive adventures.
Online Financially Fit Certificates (Grades 3-12): Offered in English and Spanish, students master financial skills at their own pace. In 2025, the curriculum will also be offered in Portuguese.
Instructor-Led Curriculum (K-12): In-school curriculum.

Of the 260+ schools we currently work with, 130 are low-to-moderate income area schools, as defined by Title I status. Given our values and vision for financial literacy for all, including serving as the only providers of financial literacy for elementary aged children, we pride ourselves in offering all of our programs for free.

Your support of our programming will allow FitMoney to continue expanding its programming, teacher training and community partnerships to reach an even greater number of low-income children this year. With your support, we can double the number of Title I schools served, helping students from marginalized backgrounds develop the critical financial skills they will need for a secure future.
