2018 Jump$tart Innovation Award honoree Funding the Future (FTF) teaches kids the importance of smart financial decisions, through live music, video, and an inspirational message shared by our musical celebrities. Students learn basic tools to make informed life decisions and gain the discipline and confidence to see their own dreams as possibilities through an innovative and engaging process.FTF’s vision is to teach financial literacy to every student in America as they are our future generations of leaders. With FTF’s information and tools, young adults will make smarter financial decisions leading to increased professional and personal success.
FINANCIAL LITERACY TOURFounded in 2013, FTF’s three celebrated musical artists have reached more than 150,000 students through 500 financial literacy presentations in 34 states. Each powerful program delivers common sense knowledge to hundreds of young people most often learning about personal finance principles and management for the first time. Students then are motivated to share their newly acquired knowledge with their families enabling them to make more informed financial decisions through a more open discussion about money.
Our artists, GOODING, Carter Hulsey and The Reminders, use the power of live performance and their own personal stories to inspire young people and show them how smart financial decisions will help them see their own dreams as possibilities.
Hear from them below:
- Basic Financial Principles
- Dangers of Credit Card Debt and understanding compound interest rates
- Pitfalls of Predatory Lending and Payday Loans
- Creating Financial Savings and Investment Plans
- Slow and Steady Wins the Race – Debunking the myth of overnight success
By using music as a bridge, students leave buzzing about the inspiring music and ready to harness money as a tool to succeed, achieve dreams and change lives.
