As part of the Life-O-Nomics core development track, Finomics fosters financial competence by teaching the essential skills needed to effectively manage money, build wealth, and create a financially secure future.

OUR VISION
To create a central, coordinating entity that elevates personal financial education—convening mission-aligned people and organizations committed to empowering citizens with the knowledge, skills, and values to manage money, build wealth, and contribute meaningfully to society.

We bring clarity, collaboration, and cohesion to the broader financial literacy movement by mapping focus areas (Financial Psychology, Earning & Income, Financial Systems, Credit & Debt Mgmt, Risk Mgmt, Budgeting & Investing ) and identifying lead organizations to advance each domain.

WHY THIS MATTERS

• Personal financial education today is fragmented—we aim to weave together the threads of practical financial knowledge essential for thriving beyond the classroom.
• From saving strategies to understanding economic systems, we need a systems-level view and a collaborative model to truly transform how we equip people to make confident personal financial decisions.

WHAT WE DELIVER

A Unified Framework for Personal Financial Education

• Mapping the Ecosystem: Identify the full spectrum of financial education—from basic budgeting to long-term investing.
• Convening Collaborators: Appoint organizations and leaders to “own” each aspect of this work.
• Streamlining for Impact: Align goals, reduce overlap, and amplify reach.

THE RESULT

• A more financially empowered, resilient, and informed society
• Reduced competition between organizations with shared missions
• Eliminated duplication of efforts and wasted resources
• Clearer pathways for donors to invest with confidence and clarity
• Less organizational fatigue and more collective momentum
