Financial Beginnings is the pathway to a financially capable nation.
We're a national nonprofit that provides accessible and unbiased financial education programming to youth and adults in schools and community-based organizations across the country.
The generosity of community members, volunteers, businesses, and foundations enables Financial Beginnings to provide all our programs at no cost to learners and educational partners. We deliver programming to tens of thousands annually, serving K-12 and adults, and prioritizing groups from low-to-moderate income (LMI) households.
Our Mission
Financial Beginnings empowers youth and adults to take control of their financial futures.
