Why Stop in April? Financial Literacy should be a Year-Round Priority.

Every April, Financial Literacy Month reminds us how vital it is to equip people—especially young people—with the tools they need to make smart financial decisions. This year, we celebrated with a major milestone: the Governor of Wyoming officially proclaimed April as Financial Literacy Month, recognizing our shared mission and the impact of financial education across the state.

Moments like this affirm the importance of what we do. But they also challenge us to go further. Because while April brings awareness, financial literacy is a lifelong journey—one that doesn’t end when the calendar turns to May.

Why One Month Isn’t Enough

Managing money, building credit, avoiding debt, and planning for the future—these are not one-time lessons. They’re part of a foundation that shapes opportunity, stability, and well-being throughout a person’s life. Yet millions still lack the financial education needed to navigate these realities.

We believe learning about money shouldn’t be confined to just one month a year. It should be ongoing, consistent, and accessible—every month, for everyone.

That’s why our work doesn’t stop in April.

What’s Next: From Summer Fundraising to a Fall Tour

We’re already planning what’s ahead—and we need your help to keep the momentum going.

🌟 WYO Gives – July 16, 2025

This summer, we’re excited to participate in WYO Gives, a 24-hour online fundraising event powered by the Wyoming Nonprofit Network. It’s a powerful statewide initiative to uplift Wyoming’s nonprofits, and Funding the Future is proud to be a part of it.
