- The Cause: Economic empowerment for financially disadvantaged children in Waterloo, Iowa
- The Mission: “To promote financial stewardship to students (K-12) in Waterloo, Iowa through education, mentoring, and resources for the cause of economic empowerment”
- The Vision: “No financially disadvantaged child in Waterloo, Iowa will grow up to be financially disadvantaged, by age 25″
- The Method: Savings-linked Conditional Cash transfer to students under the conditions of financial education, savings, leadership development, academic success, and abstinence from illegal activities
- The Reason: It’s just the right thing to do. Plus, the success of even one child benefits us all. The continuation of financial disadvantage, in even one child, harms us all.
