World of Money was founded in 2005 and is a New York City based non-profit organization whose mission is to empower youth with a sound financial education.
Over 5,000 youth between ages 7 – 18 and their families have received World of Money’s annual 120 classroom hours of financial education, youth business pitch competitions and parent forums. This approach has steadily broken a generational cycle and changed the way youth and their parents understand their money.
Their immersive curriculum equips children with five tenets for a financially responsible and philanthropic life:
- Learn
- Earn
- Save
- Invest
- Donate
Their financial presenters are stellar Wall Street professionals, business and legal leaders. Via 24 coalition partners, World of Money provides youth with a financial education mobile app. The app is being utilized by these national, local, regional and global organizations in Senegal, Ghana, South Africa, China, India and Rwanda.
