Funding The Future
April 30, 2024



The TRO team had a blast attending the "Funding the Future" event presented by musician and songwriter Gooding at Brooklyn High School of the Arts earlier this month!
Gooding founded Funding the Future based on stories he heard traveling across the country and his own mistakes growing up without financial education. Through a multimedia presentation including music, video and more, Funding the Future emphasizes the importance of financial literacy at a young age. Covering topics such as following your passion; developing good saving habits early, types of debt available to students, wise use of debt, the dangers of too much debt and high interest debt/payday lenders, how credit scores work, how to control spending, budgeting, goal setting, and more!
Funding the Future's Financial Literacy Tour has reached more than 268,635 students across 36 states, Washington, D.C., and two Canadian provinces. To learn more about this incredible organization visit their website: https://www.fundingthefuturelive.org/about
