NH Jump$tart
Committed to Improving the Financial Literacy of NH’s Youth
2022 Goals:
Our specific goals in the post-pandemic environment, as we enter our second decade of service, will be to continue our popular programs and activities: FinLit300, a high school tournament focusing on financial literacy; the I Can Save! Tour of second grade classroom presentations, emphasizing the difference between needs vs. wants; our annual teacher training workshop known as Classroom Connections; and our annual charity golf tournament. Additionally, we are refocusing our outreach and advocacy efforts with the increased use of social media and other promotional opportunities.
Fundraising Events:
Kids & Money: At the beginning of each year, we conduct our “Kids & Money” campaign where organizations and individuals can make a tax-deductible donation with a credit or debit card online through our website. Annual Golf Tournament: Held each August, this annual fundraiser provides necessary support for the
upcoming academic year.
