Who We Are: Financial Beginnings is a national nonprofit that teaches individuals how to play an active role in their financial well-being. Developing this knowledge increases life opportunities such as home ownership, higher education, and secure retirement while contributing to the economic empowerment of individuals, families, and our shared communities.

The mission of Financial Beginnings is to empower youth and adults to take control of their financial futures. FB fulfills this mission by extending programming to more communities via local, on-the-ground teams. These teams, along with their volunteer networks, deliver our financial education programming that is continually tested, revised, and improved to ensure mission alignment and participant impact.

Values:

• We Champion Collaboration: Emphasizing the power of teamwork, trust, and partnerships to achieve our mission and create positive impact. Together, we're unstoppable!
• We Embrace Empathy: Demonstrating compassion and care by fostering a supportive, nurturing and fun environment. You matter to us.
• We Elevate Empowerment: Focusing on uplifting individuals by encouraging personal growth, passion, and success for all. You've got this!
• We Illuminate Integrity: Taking pride in delivering accurate, engaging, and unbiased information, to make informed decisions accessible. Constant improvement is our goal.
• We Embody Inclusion: Centering diversity and equity, ensuring that everyone's voice and experiences are heard, respected, and valued. You, just as you are, belong here.

Equity Statement: We recognize a greater need to serve minoritized and marginalized populations stems from a long-rooted history of systemic oppression, which has excluded these populations from having equitable access to financial knowledge and sound resources.
