Free Financial Literacy for Adults
The FoolProof Foundation believes poor consumer literacy skills are one of the root causes of persistent economic inequality. We also believe that those in greatest need of financial knowledge live in communities disproportionately affected by pay day lenders and other predatory lenders. That's why it is our mission to provide free, online, financial education (that works) to nearly 750,000 students across the United States to pursue a more equitable future.
Focused on the Future.
Working in the Present.
While our work of improving the financial lives of the next generation—our nation's youth—is well underway, there is a need to build off our existing resources to reimagine the way adults learn these life changing habits.
Financial Literacy for Adults
Solo provides tailored, web-driven, financial independence content to adults in economically disadvantaged communities across the country. It builds off our highly successful student resources to create a new curriculum specifically for adults.
Solo reimagines the way adults achieve financial self-sufficiency.
Once developed, a user will access a database of bite-sized modules that teach adults core habits of financial freedom—with each module intended to be 15 minutes or less.
- Home Buying
- Student Loans
- Investing
- The Importance of Credit Scores
- Avoidance of Credit Debt
- Banking
- Renting
- Marketing and Media Literacy
- Bankruptcy
- Taxes
- Online Privacy and Data Protection
Provided to Those Most in Need

Imagine the value a free, comprehensive, online financial literacy curriculum can have for these organizations. Any organizer will have the ability to "be the teacher."

By breaking away from the crowd
The FoolProof Foundation creates behavior changing educational content because of our unique approach to financial education. FoolProof teaches what other organizations cannot—and do not—because other major resources are largely funded and shaped by businesses that profit when consumers make mistakes. Think about that.
FoolProof is the only major financial literacy and life skills resources in the world based on teaching healthy skepticism and caution when making decisions that impact your money or your wellbeing.
We are creating a future in which all learners who want to change their prospects for a more financially secure future have the tools and resources to do so—entirely for free. FoolProof Solo will provide actionable, relevant, and curated financial education aimed at adults in underserved communities.
We need your help to build an entirely new educational curriculum aimed at an adult demographic. By applying our best-in-class, proven teaching methodology rom FoolProof Academy we will develop a web-driven, highly interactive, and self-grading online education platform to increase the financial literacy of adults.
