Mission
Enlighten youth from under-resourced communities with financial life skills and resources to prevent poverty and rise to a higher economic position. Our impact at 8 Cents in a Jar has produced more financially capable students as they enter adulthood and allow them to climb the socioeconomic ladder from lower class to middle income. For the first time in the students' family's history, the reliance on applying for public assistance has diminished, and a reality of economic inclusion is within reach.
Program accomplishments
- Founded in 2016, 8 Cents in a Jar, Inc. is an award-winning 501c3 nonprofit organization serving the Central Florida community to create opportunities for students in marginalized communities to achieve intergenerational mobility through financial education. 8 Cents in a Jar represents a new beginning for students to save money and eradicate the cycle of generational poverty. Our objective is to equip the greatest possible number of students to transition as a role model for fiscal responsibility, measured in economic and demographic improvement behaviors consistent with those in a financially sound community.Expenses $299,392
