Financial Literacy

Financial Literacy

The Foundation regards financial literacy for today’s youth as an integral component for making responsible decisions that will lead to a fiscally solvent life as adults. This includes understanding how money works, how to manage credit and debt, and how to save and invest.

Believing that it’s never too early to expose students to the importance of learning basic financial standards, the Foundation has begun offering interactive seminars in the form of reality fairs at middle and high schools.

The goal is to equip students with a better and more realistic understanding of how to handle money and expenses, deal with budget planning and grapple with wants versus necessities.

The Financial Literacy Program is led by the Wake Forest Area Chamber Foundation in conjunction with many community partners and volunteers. Funding for the program is provided through grants, sponsorships, and corporate partnerships. There is no cost to the schools or students who participate.

We are delighted to have Pinnacle Financial Partners as our exclusive sponsor for the program for the 2023-2024 school year.  If you are a business that would like to volunteer please click this link.
