FitMoney, Inc.

FitMoney is a philanthropic nonprofit providing free, unbiased financial literacy programs to help K-12 students develop life skills for a financially fit future. FitMoney is an 8 year-old nonprofit, disrupting the intergenerational cycle of poverty by equipping k-12 children with financial

literacy.

The FitMoney curriculum - a K-12 classroom curriculum for personal finance that

includes a game for elementary kids, a junior certificate for middle schoolers

and senior certificate for high schoolers - is exemplary, designed by teachers

for teachers, all digital, inclusive and free to all users. This is a little

nonprofit serving 89,000 and growing very fast, because of partnerships with

American Student Association (we gained 42,000 students in 12 months, 50% from

marginalized communities,  72% girls); 18 Girl Scout Councils; New

Hampshire Learn Everywhere (our high school curriculum earns students credit in

New Hampshire); and the American National Military Family Association.  

 FitMoney is addressing a massive challenge.  While

children form their financial habits at age 7, there are no schools teaching

financial literacy at elementary levels, and only 16.6% of high schools provide

any financial literacy training.  With low or no credit score, many living

in marginalized communities experience a widening wealth gap, lower standard of

living, higher debt - impacting their homes, jobs, transportation and

healthcare.   As 26 states now mandate teaching financial literacy by

2028, the demand is enormous.  FitMoney’s challenge is to grow our

resources and get the word out that we have an exemplary financial literacy

curricula free to all users.   

FitMoney is comprised of a warm, inclusive, smart, and fleet

of foot board and staff - unbiased, diverse, welcoming and respectful.
