A great message to see after a long weekend:

From Angela, educator in Transition Education program:

I love the Next Gen Personal Finance program. Katie and I shared this with our colleagues. We both were excited and loved this program we were introduced to by Donorschoose. We had to share this wonderful program. We as a school have purchased programs that have been honestly a waste of money. It was a honor for Katie and I to share this with our colleagues as we watched it on our school Smartboard and Katie and I shared our love for this new program. I just wanted to say thank you for introducing us to this wonderful, engaging site.

Tim Ranzetta

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
