As a seasoned investor, I recognize how important it is to empower the upcoming generation with financial literacy and instill the importance of investing. So today, I want to shine a light on the Young Investors Society (YIS)! What is the #YoungInvestorsSociety? 📈 Founded in 2014 as a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation by experienced Wall Street investors, YIS aims to invest their knowledge forward to the next generation. Recognizing the inadequate teaching of financial literacy in many high schools, YIS steps in to address this gap. Most high schools either lacked organized investment programs or taught misguided principles, emphasizing short-term, high-risk strategies akin to gambling. YIS stands out by offering programs written and directed by a group of over 30 professional investors. High school students, under their guidance, have the unique privilege of learning fundamental, long-term investing in an engaging and enjoyable manner. Together, we aspire to change the world, one investor at a time. If you're interested in supporting their mission and making a difference, learn more at YIS Website: https://yis.org/ 📣 Join the Conversation: What age did you start investing?

OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS: I want to share something with you... I have been struggling with this for quite a few years, but it's gotten exponentially worse over the last handful of years. The money we have, and continue, to spend in order to dig ourselves out of the most colossal of clusterf**ks we've ever managed to get ourselves in.........and I mean plural! If that's not concerning. Most of them attributed to leaders who fail to be better at pro-activeness and worrying less about their jobs. Which essentially means the whole loot. It's insane. Problem?! No problem! We got a fund for that! Well, guess what. A lot of that money is on the backs of our future generations. And worst of all, is that there doesn't seem to be a care in the world. What are we telling our children by our decisions, acts and behaviours? The way I see it is that we're showing AND telling them we don't care. It's f**ked up and we MUST DO BETTER. End of rant. #acceleratorfund

**GIA CONFERENCE** GIA Conference Summer Series Virtual Session #4: Funding, For the Culture: A Just Transition Investing Approach to Supporting Our Movement In 2020, philanthropic institutions in the U.S contributed over 13 times the amount of money to extractive global stock markets as they did to all of their grantmaking focus areas. Leveraging dollars beyond grantmaking capital will help transform our current ecosystem by divesting from Wall Street and into Main Street. Investing in culture centers how communities express themselves in their daily lives, many of whom are experimenting with new economic models, yet continue to be underfunded. Learn how a Just Transition Investing lens can support creative placemaking/placekeeping work on the ground and fund other cultural work. Join abdiel j. lópez (Justice Funders), Lora Smith (Justice Funders), Annie McShiras (East Bay Permanent Real Estate Cooperative), and Vanessa Roanhorse (Roanhorse Consulting, LLC) for this discussion on Wednesday, October 11 at 11am PDT/2pm EDT.

A few years ago, a new initiative was started to assist younger families that wanted to be more impactful with their giving. Seed funds provide a way to start a fund at TCF over time and the Dimick family were the first to take advantage of this idea. 🌻 📈 Learn more about starting a seed fund and how they work at https://lnkd.in/gd-XiBzM #TopekaCommunityFoundation #SeedFunds #ThrowbackThursday
