My Money Workshop, Inc.

Dick Yaffa, a Bedford, NY, philanthropist, loved giving back to his local community and often visited his alma mater, Princeton University, to speak with students. After numerous conversations with college and high school students, Dick recognized that students and young adults entering the workforce lacked basic money management skills. Dick founded My Money Workshop in 2009 to address the need for financial literacy and the lack of financial education in schools. Since Dick’s passing in 2015, his family has continued his legacy and commitment to teaching and providing financial literacy.
