The TIME
for
Financial Literacy &
Business Education
is NOW!

Give young people the TIME and resources to develop financial literacy and business skills for the real world.

Together We Can Do More...
If you believe today's young people need financial literacy education and real-world business skills, the YoungBiz Foundation is here to help. Your financial gifts will allow us to provide financial, business, and entrepreneurship education to young people as well as educators who cannot afford it.

We are pleased to support our sponsors' public relations and community outreach goals, making sure students and parents know it was our sponsors' generous gifts that provided their opportunity to receive a quality financial or business education.

Together, we can reach under-served communities and population groups, helping students see their potential to succeed and increasing their ability to achieve economic stability and well-being. Please contact the YoungBiz Foundation to discuss ways you can have a positive impact on the lives of children and teenagers through a tax-deductible donation.

The number of 18 to 24-year-olds declaring bankruptcy has increased 96% in the past 10 years.

Why Teach Business Skills?

Approximately 75% of youth surveyed feel they do not receive adequate business and entrepreneurship training in high school.

93% of high school students feel it is important for Americans to have a good understanding of business economics, but 60% made an F on a basic economics quiz.
