In 2020, Next Gen Personal Finance announced the creation of the Financial Equity and Empowerment (FEE) Grant as part of our commitment to increase access to financial education within communities serving majority Black and Brown students. Our ideal partners are the largest U.S. public school systems who share our commitment to increasing financial capability in their students. Resource constraints should NOT be the reason students don’t have proper financial education.
While 1 in 9 students outside Guarantee States 1 will take a standalone Personal Finance course prior to graduation, this number dips significantly among students in schools with 75%+ Black and Brown students.
In schools with 75%+ Black and Brown student population, only
students were guaranteed to take a standalone Personal Finance course prior to graduation.
To combat this problem, NGPF commits to partnering with districts and investing
into the largest diverse high school districts in America to help build financial capability and institutional support.
Approximately $125,000 annually for 3 years to fund the position of a dedicated Personal Finance Specialist employed by the district
Ongoing 1:1 support to the Personal Finance Specialist and district in creating PD sessions, programs, resources, newsletters, and more throughout the lifetime of the grant
Regular meetings with all Personal Finance Specialists to share best practices, resources, and strategies
Comprehensive Personal Finance curriculum and professional development at no cost to the district

As part of our FEE Grant initiative, we have selected key districts in California to fund through our CAFE program.
Currently, only 25% of California high school students have access to a personal finance course elective, compared to 70% of high school students nationally. Through a partnership with the California Department of Education, State Superintendent Tony Thurmond, and Next Gen Personal Finance, the California Access To Financial Education (CAFE) grant program will substantially increase student access to this essential course in California high schools.
Current and prospective CAFE Grant recipients:
These specialists will provide curriculum support and professional development to increase access to financial education within the district.
