About Us

The 5 Buckets Foundation was started out of a need to combat a vast lack of knowledge among people about basic financial concepts, which can contribute to higher rates of poverty, decreases in overall health, and lower employment rates. We envision a world where all people have the financial education to build a successful future.

I have now attended several 5 Buckets Foundations sessions, and without fail, these are some of the best and most engaging. I feel part of the conversation and no matter the number of attendees, I feel heard and engaged. The work on financial literacy that they are doing is necessary and beyond valuable on a personal and a professional level.

The foundation is absolutely wonderful and I find it very helpful for young adults to gain knowledge on financial literacy because schools don’t teach us this.

They gave the right amount of information so we were not overwhelmed, but also, were able to cover important topics that are applicable to us as college students.
