We support financial education because we believe access to investment products and capital can raise the quality of life for individuals and families and strengthen communities around the world. But capital must be used responsibly and wisely: a good financial education can help people make the most of their money. The Foundation provides grants for financial education programs in three areas—Personal, Small Business, and Institutional—that:

• Lead to the development of assets that can help increase family stability and encourage better consumer habits
• Deliver economic and financial education to young people to help them learn how to create wealth, set financial goals, and make informed financial choices
• Improve how entrepreneurs save, borrow, and invest in their enterprises
• Build the capacity of nonprofits by offering training in financial management
• Offer university training to future leaders to increase their understanding of and ability to manage complex financial issues.
