Why support financial literacy?

Only twenty-four states require personal finance or economic education in high school in order to graduate.  That means students in over half the states are graduating with little to no knowledge of how to manage their finances.  We wouldn’t let a teenager out on the road without any driver’s education, so why don’t we give young adults the tools they need to create a budget, take on student loan debt, manage credit cards, and deal with many other financial issues that we all encounter every day?

​DoughMain Financial Literacy Foundation’s FitKit™ curriculum focuses on eight important financial areas: income & careers; pay, benefits & deductions; taxes; budgeting; banks & banking; savings & investments; credit; and insurance.  Pre- and post-assessments demonstrate a 52% improvement in financial knowledge upon course completion.  Your support helps us get the curriculum into more schools, giving the next generation the tools they need to make better financial decisions.
