Raising an economically savvy generation

EEI Fund non-profit parent company Economic Empowerment Initiative provides financial literacy courses to college students, high school programs, community-based group, religious organizations, and companies in an effort to create smarter consumers and producers for stronger economies.

EEI works with IFA national partners and local partners to create a feeder program that creates apprenticeships for youth and fast track to franchise ownership. Pipeline sources include local high schools, two and four-year college programs, and professional associations. A key aspect of the feeder program is a save-to-own requirement that drives apprentices to meet savings goals.
