Over 6,000 Fools For Good Signed Up to Receive Their Financial Freedom Score! Did You? There’s Still Time! 

To mark our second anniversary on April Fools’ Day – and Financial Literacy Month, we announced our partnership with the Financial Health Network to create an innovative assessment tool we are building together.

This groundbreaking tool measures Financial Freedom, providing individuals with a score based on five key drivers: health, education, housing, work, and money. The response to date has been nothing short of phenomenal – over 6,000 people have eagerly signed up to beta test the new tool over the summer!

This is a phased roll-out process, and the initial users will play a crucial role in shaping the tool, ensuring that it is not just valuable but also Foolish and exciting, promising a brighter financial future for all.

We are still taking registrations through May 1, so sign on today and don’t worry…the time commitment is low but valuable!  We plan to make this tool a cornerstone of our mission to develop viable and accessible paths to Financial Freedom for people living paycheck to paycheck!

Interventions That Are Helping People NOW: The Latest From Our Financial Freedom Rule Breakers
The Financial Freedom Rule Breaker program is the signature initiative of The Motley Fool Foundation.  It is our opportunity to identify the winning interventions – the most Foolish philanthropic investments.  Together with our donors, we add value to the endeavors of these social entrepreneurs by providing an unrestricted monetary investment, advice, connections through the Fools for Good community, and increased awareness through the Fool platform.

CONGRATULATIONS to Alexandra Bernadotte and Beyond 12!

Having been selected to participate in google.org’s first #GenAI Accelerator. With Google’s support, they will design and develop a GenAI-powered coach that will provide college success coaching at scale to first-generation college students and students from under-resourced communities. This will significantly increase the number of students in the U.S. who earn postsecondary degrees.

Why We Love What Alex is Doing: 85% of students coached by Beyond 12 for 4 years have graduated or remained enrolled six years after entering, compared to 42%, the national average for similar students.

Volunteer Spotlight: Fools For Good!
NEW!  This month, to mark our second anniversary, Fool members had the opportunity to volunteer alongside The Motley Fool Foundation staff and our Financial Freedom Rule Breaker, Dan Weidenbenner of Mill Village Ministries.

Together, as a community of Fools for Good, we focused on the health driver and boxed up fresh food for distribution in Greenville, South Carolina, one of the nation’s most underserved communities. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved! This event is part of a larger Fools for Good anniversary volunteer effort across the US and abroad. Stay tuned for more updates in the May Amplify, and keep an eye out for more volunteering opportunities like this in the future.

We Will. A Campaign for Financial Freedom.
