Gifted Savings is the first national nonprofit to combine the gifting of real-world investment assets-a diversified $1,000 portfolio of stocks, bonds, Bitcoin, and a CD-with real-world financial education for every participating high school senior. The model is designed to give students both skin in the game and a practical understanding of investing and long-term wealth creation. Through a next-generation web app, students track their portfolio and complete financial literacy lessons tied directly to what they own. When they turn 18 and complete the program, their investment portfolio is transferred to them to use as they choose.

Founded by serial entrepreneur Farhad Mohit - whose ventures, including Flipagram (now TikTok), Shopzilla, and BizRate have generated more than $1 billion in exits - Gifted Savings is powered by a bold philanthropic model in which a committed group of patrons covers all operating expenses. This ensures that 100% of every donor’s gift goes directly to funding student investment accounts and expanding long-term opportunities for graduates nationwide.

Gifted Savings has been featured on the main stage at TEDNext and recognized by the Anthem Awards and Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards for its innovative approach to financial education and youth empowerment.
