As we begin 2026, we want to take a moment to reflect on what lies ahead and why this year matters so much for the students and communities we serve.
This year, our focus is on deepening impact. That means not only reaching more students, but strengthening the quality of the experience, the confidence students build, and the long-term outcomes that extend beyond the classroom.
We’ll be sharing our 2025 Annual Report soon, followed later this year by a more detailed impact report that takes a deeper look at student outcomes and learning. In the meantime, we’re excited about the foundation being laid right now.
Program Updates
The spring semester is underway. This month, students at Cristo Rey and tutors from Drexel University in Philadelphia gathered for their first session, marking the start of another semester of hands-on financial education.
Behind the scenes, we’re in the midst of tutor trainings across the country and finalizing partnerships as we prepare to support students throughout the spring.
From the Classroom
In just eight weeks, students can move from exploring personal finance concepts to confidently presenting investment capstones. We spoke with Muhdee Nawab, a college tutor in FGI’s program, about what that transformation looks like and how teaching financial literacy has shaped his own perspective.
“Owning your financial future means having the freedom to choose how you spend your time.”
Read the full reflection on our blog here.
Looking Ahead to Spring
As spring programming ramps up, we’ll be sharing updates, stories, and opportunities to stay connected. Whether you’re a donor, tutor, partner, or supporter, you are part of this community and this work.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Your support, in all its forms, makes this work possible, and we’re excited to continue building toward a more financially confident future together.
