About Next Gen Personal Finance
Next Gen Personal Finance centers its grantmaking on getting personal finance taught in high schools, with district staffing, educator stipends, and state implementation work built around that goal. A distinctive part of its approach is direct support for course expansion and teacher preparation, including grants tied to state laws and district partnerships that help schools add or sustain personal finance instruction. Recent grants show that the foundation often funds local education systems and intermediary organizations rather than only stand-alone nonprofits. It gave $144,166 to Charlotte-mecklenburg School District for financial education in the district, $140,264 to Prince George's County Public Schools for a Financial Empowerment & Equity grant, and $135,000 to Fund for Public Schools in New York for district-based financial education. It also supported Philadelphia Financial Scholars, San Francisco Unified School District, and Guilford County Schools, reflecting a mix of district capacity building, professional development, and access to coursework. The active grant programs point to a consistent strategy: use targeted funding to help schools and states put personal finance education into regular practice, often through educator training and specialist staffing.
What Next Gen Personal Finance Funds
Teacher professional development is a recurring funding lane. The foundation gave $83,000 to Florida Atlantic University to support teacher professional development in the state, and it funded educator stipends through the Wisconsin Personal Financial Literacy Grant, the Oregon Personal Finance Education Grant, and the New Mexico Personal Financial Literacy Grant. Those awards are tied to implementation of state course requirements and are designed to help public high school teachers complete training. District capacity building is another clear theme. It awarded $140,264 to Prince George's County Public Schools through the Financial Empowerment & Equity Grant to build systems and institutional support for students of color, including staffing for personal finance specialists. Similar district-level support appears in the grant to Detroit Public Schools Community District and in the California Access to Financial Education Grant, which includes funding for districts to hire personal finance specialists. Policy implementation also shows up through challenge and compliance-based funding, including the Gold Standard Challenge Grant and the California Challenge Grant, both aimed at expanding adoption of stand-alone personal finance courses.
