The Money Wisdom ProjectA history of money, freely taught
Support the work

Help teach the next generation how money actually works.

The Money Wisdom Project develops free, age-appropriate curriculum that traces money through barter, coinage, paper, and digital forms. Every contribution puts those materials directly into the hands of teachers, parents, and communities worldwide.

We are a small, founder-led nonprofit based in Texas, building a body of work that did not exist when we started looking for it: monetary history written for children, families, and the educators who teach them. Coursework, classroom guides, and children's books, all free and openly licensed.

We do not sell a product or pitch an ideology. We teach money the way good history is taught, by walking carefully through what people in different times and places actually did. Donations make that possible.

Concrete, line-item work
