Fund 100 Students by Fall 2026 — Close the Wealth Gap Through Education

100 students are counting on us. The clock is ticking.

Right now, thousands of young people across America are trapped in a cycle — not because they lack talent, but because no one ever taught them how money works. They graduate high school without knowing how to build credit. They enter college without understanding student loans. They start careers without a plan to build wealth.

Finance With Phil exists to break that cycle.

We deliver free, culturally-responsive financial education to youth, working adults, and underserved communities — and we need your help to reach 100 more students before Fall 2026.

What We've Already Accomplished

1,350+ community members served with free financial education
1,620+ workshop hours delivered on budgeting, credit, investing, and wealth-building
30+ partner organizations, including Cornell University, Morehouse College, FAMU, Penn State, Georgia State University, Alabama A&M, and Kennesaw University
30+ students sponsored for life-changing college visits
100% of programming delivered completely free to participants

The $150,000 Goal: What We're Building by Fall 2026

This isn't just a fundraiser — it's a launchpad. We're expanding our proven model to reach 100 students with:

Full and partial scholarships for tuition and fees
College visit trips to HBCUs and top universities
Year-round financial literacy workshops in classrooms and on campuses
One-on-one financial coaching and mentorship
School supplies and learning resources for students who need them most

Where Every Dollar Goes

$25 — Covers school supplies for one student
$100 — Sponsors one financial literacy workshop session
$500 — Funds a college visit trip for one student
$1,500 — Provides a full-semester scholarship
$5,000 — Brings a complete financial literacy program to an entire school
$25,000 — Establishes a year-long HBCU campus partnership

Why Right Now?

Fall 2026 enrollment deadlines are fast approaching. Students are making decisions about their futures today. Your gift ensures they have the knowledge, resources, and support to make those decisions from a position of strength — not uncertainty.

We've already raised over $12,000 from 15 generous supporters. But to hit our $150,000 goal and fund all 100 students, we need the community to rally behind this mission.

Make Your Impact Today

Every dollar is tax-deductible through our 501(c)(3). Every dollar goes directly to programming. And every dollar brings us one step closer to closing the wealth gap through education.

The question isn't whether these students deserve a chance. It's whether we'll be there for them before it's too late.
