Girls are taught early to doubt their abilities with numbers.¹
By age 15, this doubt becomes a measurable confidence gap, even though girls perform just as well as boys in financial tasks.² And that confidence gap matters: one-third of the gender gap in adult financial literacy is explained by lower confidence, not lower ability.³
But here’s the thing: confidence is learned.
When girls lack early financial confidence, they are less likely to invest, less likely to build wealth, and less likely to participate fully in financial decision-making. Intervene early, and we can permanently shift financial futures—and the gender wealth gap—at scale.
independence, and futures that once felt out of reach.
For Students
When young people understand how money works—how to earn it, grow it, and use it with intention—they gain more than knowledge; they gain options. FuturFund exists to build that understanding early, so more girls and young women can step into opportunity with confidence.
For Supporters
Financial confidence has a ripple effect—it shapes how students think, what they pursue, and what becomes possible. By partnering with FuturFund, you’re helping expand access to that confidence—equipping girls and young women with the tools and mindset they need to navigate their futures with intention.
For Parents, Educators, & Advocates
Financial literacy is one of the most important—and often overlooked—foundations for independence.
FuturFund helps students build financial confidence early. But it’s not just about finances—it’s about what confidence makes possible.
