WESTLAKE, Texas - Charles Schwab Foundation announced a $2.85 million multi-year expansion of its partnership with SIFMA Foundation to increase access to investing education for students nationwide, according to a press release statement.The Charles Schwab Corporation, a prominent player in the Capital Markets industry according to InvestingPro, reported revenue of $24.8 billion over the last twelve months with a market capitalization of $154 billion. The company has maintained dividend payments for 38 consecutive years.
The funding builds on a nearly decade-long partnership between the two organizations and will support the expansion of several SIFMA Foundation programs. These include integrating the Stock Market Game into Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s Money Matters curriculum, expanding the Capitol Hill Challenge competition for public middle and high school students, and extending the Stock Market Game Summer Session beyond the school year.
The Capitol Hill Challenge pairs students with Members of Congress to build financial and investing knowledge, with emphasis on schools serving under-resourced communities. The Summer Session extends investing education into homes, camps, libraries, and community spaces.
"In this environment, it’s critical that students learn the difference between speculation and investing, hype and fundamentals," said Chris Wyse, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer and Chair of the Board of Charles Schwab Foundation.
Melanie Mortimer, President of SIFMA Foundation, said the expanded partnership allows the organization to increase the scale and reach of investing education for young people.
The investment is part of Charles Schwab Foundation’s broader commitment to youth financial education. The Foundation has committed more than $20 million over the next three years to support nonprofit partners focused on building financial knowledge for young people.
