Goal Card Program

While at Melrose High Miss JK was introduced to the RISE Foundation and our Children’s Savings Account Program (CSA). She was amazed at the opportunities that RISE offered and joined the program wholeheartedly. She has been a dedicated member of the RISE CSA program since its inception in 2018. When her family moved, JK transferred from Melrose High School, but she stayed with the program and continued to make monthly deposits into her savings account. 

In May of this year, JK graduated as the salutatorian of Compass Community School, and will be attending Southwest Community College in the fall majoring in Paralegal Studies.  We are so proud of JK for all her major accomplishments, including receiving her CSA account match, VISA gift card bonus, and HP Chromebook courtesy of Jack & Jill Foundation of America. Congratulations JK for staying the course and putting your academics, attendance and conduct at the forefront of your scholastic journey!

RISE Foundation CSA students are highly engaged in their financial literacy and education goals. They receive monthly bank statements in the mail detailing their account balances so that they can share their savings goals with their parents. Goal Card program coordinators monitor deposits as well and can help students who need to get back on track if they are having problems making deposits. Goal Card CSA program is critical in helping students in grades 10 – 12 implement real-world financial literacy skill planning and good money management practices.

Please consider supporting the Goal Card program at the RISE Foundation today. You are making a huge difference in the lives of students determined to change the course of their financial futures through improving their financial education and breaking the cycle of generational poverty for their families while they are in their youth.
