Part 3 - Line 4a
FUNDING THE FUTURE DOES A SPRING AND FALL TOUR EACH YEAR CORRESPONDING TO THE SCHOOL SEMESTERS. IN 2021, FUNDING THE FUTURE WAS ABLE TO DELIVER OUR PROGRAM UTILIZING OUR LIVESTREAM PLATFORM TO 27 SCHOOLS AND PERFORMED LIVE IN 39 SCHOOLS ACROSS 17 STATES. THE FUNDING THE FUTURE PROGRAM DELIVERED THEIR FINANCIAL LITERACY PROGRAM TO OVER 18,105 STUDENTS IN 2021. FUNDING THE FUTURE HAS THREE PERFORMING BANDS, INCLUDING A HIP HOP BAND, A COUNTRY ALTERNATIVE ROCK GROUP AND A ROCK BAND. HAVING THREE BANDS HAS INCREASED OUR OUTREACH AND APPEAL TO STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS. STUDENTS WERE ENCOURAGED TO ASK QUESTIONS AND PARTICIPATE IN PROGRAM INTERACTION AND MANY REALLY GOOD QUESTIONS CAME FROM STUDENTS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF SAVING, HANDLING CREDIT, WATCHING FOR CREDIT PITFALLS, AVOIDING PAY DAY LENDERS AND INVESTING. THIS IS FUNDING THE FUTURE'S SOLE PROGRAM AND IT IS FOCUSED ON AND TAILORED TO THE FULFILLMENT OF ITS MISSION. THE CURRICULUM IS REVIEWED EACH SEMESTER AND UPDATED REGULARLY TO REFLECT INPUT FROM TEACHERS AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS TO PROVIDE THEM WITH SUPPORT FOR CONTINUING THE DISCUSSION THAT IS STARTED WITH THE LIVE PERFORMANCES. THE MUSICIANS ARE ALSO CONSTANTLY REFINING THEIR MESSAGE DELIVERY AND THEIR INTERACTIONS WITH THE STUDENTS BASED ON THEIR OBSERVATIONS FROM THE SHOWS AND FEEDBACK FROM THE STUDENTS. STUDENT FEEDBACK IS GAINED FROM THE USE OF QUIZ CARDS WHERE THE STUDENTS CAN GO ONLINE AND ANSWER THREE QUESTIONS ABOUT MONEY BASED ON WHAT THEY LEARNED FROM THE SHOW. AS AN INCENTIVE TO COMPLETE THE QUIZ CARDS, STUDENTS CAN THEN DOWNLOAD FREE SONGS FROM THE BANDS.
