Next Gen Personal Finance (NGPF) is committed to expanding access to high quality personal finance educational content. Through our partnership with DonorsChoose.org, we will be bringing our engaging and easy to implement activities to thousands of classrooms. We know that you understand the importance of financial literacy, so we developed a list of our most popular resources for you to use with your students (see list below). To thank you for bringing this gift of financial literacy to your class, we are offering DonorsChoose.org funding credits which you can apply to a classroom project of your choosing. All teachers who work with students in grades 9-12 are eligible for this rewards program. 

Three Steps Is All It Takes!

1. Sign up for the Next Gen Personal Finance program. We only have 2,500 spaces available so be sure to sign up ASAP.
   • We’ll close the signup form and update this page once all the slots have been filled, so rest assured that if you’re able to sign up, spaces are still available. 
2. Engage your students with one of these Next Gen Personal Finance resources from the list below.
   • You can expect these resources to take 30-60 minutes of class time. 
3. Complete this follow-up report on your students’ experience by March 30, 2017. As part of the report, you’ll be asked to upload 5 samples of student work.

Once you have completed ALL of the steps above, the Next Gen Personal Finance team will review your report, and if you’ve met all the requirements, they will email you a $100 DonorsChoose.org gift code by April 30, 2017. Thank you!
