Unconditional giving:
knowledge, love and money
How do you teach someone about money without money? You don't.
They need knowledge and money.
Just like you can’t teach someone to read without both knowledge and a book, you can’t teach someone about money without money.
The Benjamin Project was created to share practical knowledge and give actual money to participants with which to experiment.
The individuals receiving the knowledge and money feel safe and loved.
Our program includes emotions + family + energy + self-discipline + failure + imagination, which creates an authentic environment while we provide the knowledge and tool.
Since January 2021:
Direct Investments: 665 Benjamins = $66,500
Number of Students: 160 over 9 programs
Time Spent Together: 720 hours (2.5 hrs/wk for 6 weeks per program)
Cost: Priceless
Possibilities: Endless
Our participants say it best.
“I think the best part about the Benjamin Project was being able to share our thoughts and feelings about money and the way it could change people.”
