About
Funding the Future is a nonprofit organization that teaches teens vital financial principles by organizing live musical performances at schools across the nation and creating a dialogue around financial literacy between students and musicians.
We believe all youth can learn critical financial skills,
define their future, and obtain professional and personal success.
Our Mission
The Mission of Funding the Future is to educate students across the country on the importance of smart financial decisions, through a multimedia presentation including music, video and an inspirational message shared by a musical celebrity. Funding the Future emphasizes the importance of financial literacy at a young age.
Our Vision
Our vision is to ensure every student in America receives financial literacy education. We strive to support nationwide changes that make financial literacy a required part of education in every state, empowering the next generation to make smarter financial decisions and achieve greater personal and professional success.
"The music and prestige of the band hooked the students from the beginning, so when the message was presented, they were attentive and excited. They enjoyed themselves and walked away with a better understanding of financial literacy and how it affects their lives."
— Christie Radford, Assistant Principal and Curriculum Testing Director, Goddard High School, Goddard, KS
