Financial Firsts At-Risk Youth Initiative

ByDesign Financial Solutions is dedicated to delivering the Financial Firsts financial literacy program to at-risk youth in the communities we serve.  In 2007, ByDesign has reached a total of 959 at-risk youth with Financial Firsts.  To help us reach youth in need of this education, we have developed numerous new partnerships with community-based organizations, usually other non-profits, which allow us to offer the classes to their clients.  

ByDesign relies on grant funding to support our delivery of series of Financial Firsts workshops to at-risk youth.  Without corporate and foundation funding, we could not afford to give these workshops to those who need them most.  We are thoroughly grateful and thankful to the following charitable donors who make this program possible:

	Bank of America Charitable Foundation
	Chase Foundation
	Citi Community Scholar Intern Program
	ING Foundation
	The Richard Myles Johnson Foundation
	State Farm Insurance
	The Walter S. Johnson Foundation
