These two women-led organizations received grants:
Rock the Street Wall Street - high school girls learn about financial markets and careers, inspired by women they meet on field trips to financial firms.
World of Money - young people in underserved communities are empowered by immersive education in financial literacy. Go, money moguls!
Additional grants were made to seven organizations:
Supporting a group like Virtual Enterprise Int'l (VEI) is easy because once you volunteer to judge a live business competition (think Shark Tank!), you feel inspired. You will be convinced that VEI classes, actually held during the school day, teach more than almost any class you can think of from your own high school days! Now in 400+ schools and reaching 12,000 students around the world, VEI is also a fascinating volunteer opportunity for a business professional who would like to be a judge or coach a virtual business team.
