Our Impact

Higher credit literacy, more financial confidence, and less financial stress

In year one, we’ve helped 30 immigrants learn to budget, save, and invest. 96% of students open a brokerage or a high-yield savings account during the program. Students also show significant improvements in credit literacy, financial confidence, and reduced financial stress.

Our Mission

Ensure equal access to the U.S. financial system for immigrants

Most personal finance education fails immigrants because it doesn’t reflect their realities, like sending money home or retiring abroad. We’re building a country where all of us, no matter where we were born, have the financial skills to build lasting peace of mind.
