Rapunzl Awarded $500,000 To Scale Financial Education, Break ‘Cycle Of Generational Poverty’
When Chicago-based investment-education program provider Rapunzl won the STOP Award at the annual Yass Prize competition, the company was acknowledged as one of the nation’s leading producers of education programs and given funds, $500,000, to continue it.
“So many people view the world of investing and the returns of Wall Street as something that’s perched in an ivory tower, inaccessible to most people’,’ saysBrian Curcio, Rapunzl’s founder and CEO, on scaling financial education programs nationwide.
“Rapunzl transforms the way we teach kids about money so that every student can climb to financial success because financial literacy is critical in breaking the cycle of generational poverty.”
