At The Motley Fool, we are taking last year's financial crisis as a call to fulfill the "educate" part of our mission statement.
This year, we're focusing on making a Foolish difference in our own back yard. To do that, we're going back to school ... literally.
A single writer's mission to rally the community around Foolanthropy 2009.
Foolanthropy is The Motley Fool’s take on philanthropy, and it started as one of the Internet’s first community charity drives. This year, our Foolanthropy campaign is committed to volunteerism—by teaching local high-school students the importance of financial literacy. We encourage you to embrace the Foolish spirit and check out volunteer opportunities in your own community.
