    Summary

    The Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (DFI), along with the Governor's Council on Financial Literacy has created a fund for the purpose of promoting innovation in the teaching of personal financial literacy (PFL) in the classroom. Funds are being awarded through a competitive grant program to schools, partnering with communities, to support the implementation of the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards for Personal Financial Literacy in order to improve financial literacy among youth. Funds provide an opportunity to help teachers bring new and creative programs and events into the classrooms or implement the adoption of a PFL graduation requirement in Wisconsin schools as a means to enhance the teaching and learning of financial literacy.


    Priority will be given to projects that:

    • Focus on college and career readiness as part of innovative programs, graduation requirement, specifically addressing college and career ready goals, OR opening a financial institution on school premises.
    • Improve the capability of schools to plan, conduct, and improve programs or activities focusing on financial literacy.
    • Adoption and/or implementation of the Wisconsin Personal Financial Literacy Standards in compliance with the 2017 Wisconsin Act 94
    • Increase the collaboration between grade levels and the district educators in developing programming.
    • Promote the collaboration between schools and districts.
    • Further the development of business/education/community partnerships to support personal financial literacy.
    • Ensure every student has the opportunity to learn PFL
    • Support the curation of Personal Financial Literacy resources into the WISELearn portal.
