Who we are
Funding the Future is an innovative nonprofit organization that teaches teens vital financial principles through its live musical performances and student/musician interaction.
Financial Literacy Education Tour
Founded in 2013, FTF’s three celebrated musical artists have reached more than 150,000 students in over 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.
Their 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.
What we offer
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. The musical, energetic introductions are followed by meaningful messages from musicians about:
- 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
- Earning while Learning to Save
