The 3to1 Foundation is committed to providing financial education to the community. In 2023 we set programming records by conducting 90 seminars and impacting over 2,400 people. We are excited to be continuing our record setting growth in 2024! We have already completed 91 events this year and have helped over 2,500 people learn more about their finances. We partner with 42 community organizations, including high schools, elementary schools, college, and nonprofit organizations to provide them free financial education. We help people learn through our webinars/seminars, and 3to1 University (our online videos).
Through the generosity of our donors, the Foundation annually grants multiple $2,000 scholarships and has awarded over $210,000 since 2016. We are positively affecting people's lives!
We are honored to be recognized by D CEO magazine as the winner of the Leadership Excellence Award for micro nonprofits. In addition, Brendren Austin, board member and volunteer, was a finalist for volunteer of the year. Finally, we were a Micro Nonprofit Finalist in 2023.
Cain Watters and Associates has pledged to match up to 8,000 dollars raised during North Texas Giving Day.
