These two women-led organizations received grants:
Rock the Street Wall Street - high school girls learn about financial markets and careers, inspired by women they meet on field trips to financial firms.

Additional grants were made to seven organizations:
Just back from South Africa, I learned about the horrors of apartheid that still linger. While today’s crazy events can depress me and weaken my resolve, I keep in mind Mandela’s example, to stay strong and keep my eye on the ulitmate mission — that is, the change we need in education, in government, in society. I’m deeply honored to be recognized by World of Money with three others on November 1st. To see a better way to teach financial literacy click here.
