Project Title: Free Financial Literacy for Children K-12 Across the U.S.
Project Description:

FitMoney requests support of $10,000 for our financial literacy program for students K-12. Based in MA, FitMoney is a 501(c)3 nonprofit with a mission to bring free, unbiased financial literacy programs to all students 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 tools for successful lives.

FitMoney has seen an unprecedented amount of growth in the last year, growing from 115,000 K-12 students nationally to more than 218,000 K-12 students (a 89% increase), who are empowered to build financially secure futures through:

$uperSquad (K-3): Digital game-based platform that makes financial literacy fun through interactive adventures.
Online Financially Fit Certificates (Grades 3-12): Offered in English and Spanish, students master financial skills at their own pace. Our Portuguese translation will be completed this year.
Instructor-Led Curriculum (K-12): This ready-to-use curriculum can be implemented into any K-12 classroom. The curriculum is aligned with Jump$tart standards and teaches critical skills for financial planning, credit management, and managing money in a digital age. Lessons are designed to be taught by teachers, with discussion guides for parents to continue support at home.

More than half of the schools we work with 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 our premier financial literacy curricula for free.

Your support will allow FitMoney to reach more than 380,000 students this year by geotargeting new schools in low-income areas, while building out the internal capacity and resources we need to manage this rapid growth. Thank you for your consideration of our grant request.
