The National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE)

The Foundation is pleased to award one of its inaugural grants, in the amount of $295,000, to the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship to support its development of a set of curricula for low-income elementary and secondary school students that will increase their financial literacy and teach them to create personal financial plans.
Called BizTech 3.0, the coursework will address both macroeconomic and microeconomic concepts and can be used in stand-alone lessons or as part of NFTE's overall entrepreneurship program. Working in conjunction with the America's Promise Alliance, NFTE will broadly disseminate this content through its network of schools and community-based organizations serving over 42,000 young people.
NFTE's mission is to provide entrepreneurship education programs to young people from low-income communities. Over the last 20 years, NFTE has worked with more than 220,000 young people and trained more than 4,700 Certified Entrepreneurship Teachers. Currently, NFTE has active programs in 21 states and 13 countries.
