Too many people are left out of America’s financial system.

Most students enter adulthood without the assets or knowledge to confidently own investments that grow over time.

They’re not lacking ambition.
They’re lacking access.

At the start of our program:

75%

Of students said they were “extremely” or “very” interested in learning how to invest.

96%

Of students had never owned an investment before Gifted Savings.

44%

Of students didn’t even have a bank account when they started.

Ownership + Education = Lifelong Impact

We don’t just teach financial concepts. We give students something real to learn from.

We believe every student deserves the opportunity to build lasting financial security — and the confidence to participate in the economy.

How it works:

We Gift $1,000 in Investments

Each senior receives a pre-set portfolio of assets.

They Track and Learn

Students complete short weekly lessons while observing how their portfolio fluctuates — no trading, just real-time learning with real assets.

Access at Age 18

Students unlock their portfolio when they turn 18 and graduate— just as they’re putting decisions about college, careers, and money into motion.
