Good news: Many New York high school teachers want to teach their kids to be smarter about money.

Bad news: Companies that make money when kids make poor money decisions want to provide the lessons.

The answer: New York teachers need a financial literacy curriculum developed by teachers, not one influenced by marketers.

FoolProof New York can provide that curriculum—with your help.

FoolProof has developed a free financial literacy curriculum that teaches kids what they really need to know about money and the reality of the free enterprise system: If you are going to be smart about money, you must learn to be a skeptic.

Last year, kids across America made over 40 million page views of this curriculum.

And listen to what teachers say:

"Though I review financial-literacy programs each year, it's been a conscious choice to use FoolProof"

"This is one of the most relevant courses we teach," says John Chargois, a principal at Union Public School in Oklahoma where all 3200 kids are required to go thru FoolProof before graduating.

Already—just by teacher word-of-mouth—360 New York schools have registered for FoolProof. We need to register and service thousands.

What We Need to Succeed

It will cost us $100,000 a year to both reach all teachers in the state and update and maintain our curriculum and teacher support tools.

You can help us reach that goal by donating $2,500 to $15,000 a year for four years to the FoolProof Foundation.

Your donation also puts you on the FoolProof New York Committee. But don't worry: you don't have to attend any meetings! Your name will appear on the FoolProof New York website along with ours.
