First presented in 2016 as a special recognition of Experian’s innovative approach to using social media as a consumer education tool, the award was institutionalized in 2017 as the Innovation Award. Generally not given for a single program, the Innovation Award recognizes organizations with innovative and exciting new approaches to financial literacy and education.
Recipients of the Financial Literacy Innovation Award and other Jump$tart honors are selected by a committee of national Jump$tart Coalition Board Members and prior honorees. Awards are presented at the coalition’s Annual Awards Luncheon, the pinnacle event of Jump$tart’s Financial Literacy Month celebration each April.
