Project Description

As the old saying goes, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”. At M&J Financial management, we indeed believe in teaching a man how to fish. Our goal is to empower our young adults and teens with the resources and financial coaching they need to build a brighter future.

Background

Many underprivileged children face hardship and poverty. They desire a better and more comfortable lifestyle but have very limited resources or opportunities to do so. Some are not able to further their education while others finish school and desire to start their own businesses but lack the knowledge or capability to start and run a successful business. We are here to bridge that gap and provide these underprivileged teens and young adults with the resources and financial education that will help them build and maintain successful small businesses. 

Why Small Businesses

Small businesses are the backbone of our communities. We rely on them in our daily lives, yet many of us may not realize their true impact. Whether it’s the local coffee shop you visit every morning, the parts manufacturer that employs a member of your family, or the accountancy firm that helps you manage your finances, small businesses help to shape our local cities and regions. Studies show that small businesses create two-thirds of new jobs and deliver 43.5 percent of the United States’ gross domestic product (GDP). And in addition to keeping the economy running, they also lead the way in innovation and reflect the diversity of the population.

But why should teens and young adults start small businesses? It’s simple!

Starting a small business can be a great way for teens and young adults to earn some extra money while filling a need in their community. It can also help them learn how to manage finances and express their creativity while instilling valuable life lessons such as time management, communication skills, and more. By empowering our teens and young adults to start a small business, we’ll not only be helping them to create a sustainable future but we’ll also be growing our communities beyond local boundaries.

What we are offering

We are an experienced team of accountants, business coaches, public motivational speakers, and marketing strategists who specialize in offering a variety of accounting services for businesses. We are looking to utilize our skills, expertise, and experience to offer teens and young adults FREE professional business and financial coaching. This will empower them to not only be financially literate but also start and manage successful businesses. We are also looking to offer grants that will cover our recipients' startup costs and business foundations, which can be expensive. However, to do all this, we need your help.

What we are asking of you, our supporters and community, is to join our efforts and help us make a significant difference in the lives of our teens and young adults. All the funds raised will be used to finance our business coaching sessions and ensure that our teens and young adults have access to free and quality financial education that empowers them to succeed in life. The raised funds will also be used to provide grants, which will help underprivileged teens and young adults to set up and run their businesses with less hassle and achieve their dreams. We know that it won’t be easy but we’re prepared for the exciting road ahead. Your backing gives us what we need to put the gears in motion.

Life is like a game of cards, much of it is based on chance. Everyone is dealt a different hand, which means some of us must work through tougher situations than others. This is nothing to feel guilty about but please take this opportunity to empower and uplift our teens and young adults who desperately need our help. Kindly remember that your contribution counts no matter how big or how small. It is our belief that we cannot do this alone, but together, we have the potential to do great things and create a world where any teen or adult, regardless of their background, can achieve their dreams. Thank you again for your support and stay safe.
