Gifted Savings

Gifted Savings is a nonprofit-oriented organisation that builds a web platform bringing real investment assets into high school classrooms. Its product, the Gifted Savings web platform, allows investment assets to be gifted directly to students, serving as a hands-on tool for teaching personal finance. The company works across web platform development, open-source software, financial education technology and product design.

Based in the United States and active in Athens, GA, Gifted Savings operates in the K-12 education, financial literacy and fintech sectors. Through a partnership with TED-Ed, Athens, GA became the first city in which every public school senior graduates with an investment portfolio. The company's stated measure of success is student confidence and financial literacy rather than the number of portfolios gifted, and it describes a commitment to making financial education accessible to students regardless of background.

The organisation is supported by a community of open-source developers and volunteers, and its work culture is described as mission-driven, with educators, developers and designers working collaboratively and an emphasis on innovation, experimentation and ownership. Leadership includes founder Farhad Mohit and executive director Josh Landay, whose remit is described as building scalable social impact organisations. Further details at https://giftedsavings.org/.
