Jump$tart State Coalitions

About the State Coalitions

While the Jump$tart Coalition was founded as a national coalition, the need to collaborate and communicate on financial literacy issues at the state level quickly became apparent.

Some of the earliest state coalitions were formed from existing organizations or cooperative efforts; others were formed when state and local entities contacted the Jump$tart Coalition to ask for assistance in getting started. Today, Jump$tart-affiliated state coalitions operate in nearly every state — and most of them operate as “grassroots” volunteer efforts without full-time permanent staff or facilities.  These state coalitions are independent nonprofit organizations, each with their own boards and bylaws, connected to the national Jump$tart Coalition through an affiliation agreement.  Many of them are tax-exempt through national Jump$tart’s group exemption.

Most of Jump$tart’s affiliated state coalitions use the Jump$tart name and brand, but a few do not.  A few have extended some reach beyond the student demographic.  Each carries out its mission through a unique mix of activities and initiatives to serve all consumers in the state.
