SuitUp x FoolProof Foundation

Partner Objective

FoolProof came to SuitUp to find a way to bring their non-profit brand to more school partners and students.

Program Summary

Through SuitUp and FoolProof, students from Sandyston-Walpack School created a financial literacy app that helped users achieve real monetary security. This challenge focused on FoolProof’s mission to reduce cycles of inequality through financial literacy curricula. Students had the opportunity to interact with corporate volunteers who coached them on their product's marketing, design, financing, and strategy, as well as professional “soft skills.” Teams pitched their ideas virtually to judges for a cash prize.

Success Metrics

Achieved Objective

Through this partnership, FoolProof was able to integrate their curriculum into SuitUp programming and encourage financial literacy in students. FoolProof board members and volunteers were able to see their mission realized and the power of non-profit collaboration.
