What's next for Biz Kids and credit unions? It's huge with momentum! Credit unions have long been the headline sponsors of Biz Kid$, championing behaviorally designed youth financial education through entrepreneurialism. This commitment began with the GoWest Credit Union Association Foundation, the founding fiscal sponsor, and 288 credit unions funded the production, and was sustained by the National Credit Union Foundation, which provided Biz Kid$ with the largest grant in credit union history in 2007 and continued to support it generously for nearly two decades. Today, Biz Kid$ continues to thrive, thanks to its incredible fiscal sponsor, the National Council for Financial Opportunities, managed by Callahan & Associates, Inc. TAPCO Credit Union, SkyPoint Federal Credit Union, Pelican State Credit Union, Michigan First Credit Union, and CSE Federal Credit Union provided grants to students at Title One Schools to experience financial education with their own money using the Biz Kid$ newly minted books sponsored by PSCU now Velera. A groundbreaking new partnership with the Singleton Foundation for Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship, a partnership with LifeCents for education and behavioral outcome measurement, and a grant from BECU for a new behaviorally designed website from Catalysis, along with a brand redesign that is fire 🔥from Mighty Media Studios are moving Biz Kid$ Nation forward with incredible speed. A call to action for all credit unions: Watch Mike Lawson's short interview with Jamie Strayer and Jeannine Glista on CU Broadcast. Now is the time to get involved as we activate our base of teachers in schools across the country, 250,000 social media followers, and millions of real Biz Kids who are now parents to bring Biz Kid$ and credit unions to their own kids. Biz Kid$ is also thrilled to be featured at Credit Union Financial Education Network's Annual Conference in July!
