We Are Next Step Progress
The preeminent financial capability organization creating economic empowerment among generations by transforming neighborhoods into vibrant communities. We’re transforming the landscape of financial education in the 21st Century.
How We're Different
Neighborhood Focused
​
A lot of business plan programs with good intention can’t build financial capability- only envisioned, equipped, and aware local individuals can. We identify vested individuals in the neighborhood to build relationships throughout the neighborhood. Establish student leaders on college campuses and community leaders in neighborhoods to create financial capability for intergenerational wealth.
Focal Point: Urban and Rural Areas
​
Of the over 320 million people living in the United States. Over 50% live paycheck-to-paycheck, low-income neighborhoods compromise a large proportion. We’re committed to reaching those living in neighborhoods who have a will to turn their environments into communities.
Holistic
​
Many nonprofits take a linear approach when addressing economic empowerment. We believe the only way to bridge the disparities taking place in neighborhoods is to build communities and improve capacity around 4 areas of financial need.
