Gifted Savings

We make the direct gifting of investment assets simple and rewarding, empowering people to create their own opportunities.

Gifted Savings is the first national nonprofit to combine real-world financial education with a $1,000 investment portfolio for every participating high school senior. Through a next-generation web app used directly in classrooms, students gain access, essential knowledge, and ownership of real investment assets, giving them skin in the game and a spark for their future. Founded by serial entrepreneur Farhad Mohit — whose ventures, including Flipagram (now TikTok), Shopzilla, and BizRate have generated more than $1 Billion in exits — Gifted Savings is powered by a bold philanthropic model in which a committed group of patrons covers all operating expenses. This ensures that 100% of every donor’s gift goes directly to funding student investment accounts and expanding long-term opportunities for graduates nationwide. Gifted Savings has been featured on the main stage at TEDNext, and recognized by the Anthem Awards and Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards for its innovative approach to financial education and youth empowerment.

In 2025, as part of our ongoing partnership with TED-Ed, Gifted Savings made Athens, GA the first city in the nation where every public school senior can graduate with an investment portfolio. Gifted Savings has also delivered programming in South Los Angeles and Yellow Springs, OH, and in 2026 will launch new programs — including a planned program in Denver, CO — as part of a growing set of partnerships expanding access to the Gifted Savings experience for high school students nationwide.
