Junior Achievement – Financial Education for Children
A friend of mine from college works for Junior Achievement, a non-profit organization that educates children about personal finances. You know how important educating children about money is to me; Moanna may not know much geometry or history when she leaves home, but she will be well versed in personal finances.
Junior Achievement is in the running for a hefty donation from JP Morgan Chase & Co. through a contest on Facebook. These donations start at $20,000.00, and that can make a huge impact on a non-profit group. Can you imagine how many children will be able to make smart financial decisions and avoid debt with a donation like this? And $20,000.00 is the smallest donation; they go all the way up to a quarter million!
I don’t campaign for many things, but I am very passionate about children learning how to handle money. To support Junior Achievement all you have to do is vote for them on Facebook. The top 200 non-profit organizations will receive donations. To learn more about Junior Achievement and the Facebook contest by JP Morgan Chase & Co. please click on the icon below.
The information below is about the contest and was emailed to me by Lauren…
