Coins for Change
🌟 Join us in Creating Change! 🌟
At The Crayons and Coins Financial Literacy Foundation, we know that change starts with people like you. Every act of kindness, every dollar, and every moment of your time brings us closer to achieving our mission.
Every day, children and teens from under-resourced communities walk into our programs with questions about money and walk out with confidence, knowledge, and a sense of control over their future. They learn that money isn't just something to be spent, it’s a tool for freedom, choice, and legacy.
Our mission is to empower the nation’s minority and low-income youth through financial literacy education, equipping them with the financial foundation to save, invest, give, and spend wisely for a brighter tomorrow.
But we can’t do it without you.
Your donation plants seeds of financial knowledge.
It buys books. It funds workshops. It trains mentors. It equips young people with the tools they need to dream bigger and achieve their dreams.
Together, we’re not just teaching kids about dollars and cents. We’re investing in a future where every child knows their worth and how to build upon it.
How you can help power our mission:
​
-
Donate: Every dollar counts. Contribute now to help us reach our goal.
-
Share: Share our campaign with your friends, family, and on social media. Your advocacy can amplify our impact.
-
Volunteer: Your time and skills can make an impact too.
Thank you for supporting our mission; your support is invaluable.
