Financial Field Trip Program That Takes Young Adults to Car Dealerships & Investment Properties Competes for Nipsey Hussle Business Grant

NationwideDiapers 2 Deposits‘ Financial Field Trip program, which teaches financial literacy to teens and young adults by taking them on field trips to financial institutions, is thrilled to announce its participation in the Nipsey Hussle Business Grant competition. The $100,000 grant would significantly boost the organization’s program from New York City to Atlanta, making a tangible difference in reaching more youth. Leading this effort is Whitney Ramirez, founder of Diapers 2 Deposits and a passionate advocate for financial literacy.

Diapers 2 Deposits operates in Maryland and New York City. The Financial Field Trip program, a resounding success among teens and young adults in Maryland, is an innovative and impactful initiative that is a game-changer in shaping the next generation’s financial future. It includes visits to banks, credit unions, the Bureau of Engraving & Printing, car dealerships, and investment properties to simulate making hard financial decisions and big purchases. By focusing on essential financial topics, like the car buying and homebuying process, that every adult will encounter, the program equips participants with the financial tools they need as they transition from youth to adulthood. It also provides them with guidance and mentorship from experts in the financial literacy field.

When asked about the importance of the grant, Ramirez stated, “The Financial Field Trip program has a proven track record of success in Maryland. This grant would help tremendously expand our reach beyond Maryland and ensure more children are prepared for the challenging world of responsibly handling financial situations as adults.”

She emphasized, “Our country has a long-standing history of not properly preparing our future generations for financial success. Diapers 2 Deposits can expand our Financial Field Trip program and reach with this funding, becoming a stronger force in fighting for our children’s financial futures.”

The Nipsey Hussle Business Grant winner will be announced during this year’s highly anticipated Invest Fest event in Atlanta, Georgia, hosted by Earn Your Leisure (EYL). The grant honors the late entrepreneur and entertainer Nipsey Hussle, a dedicated advocate for giving back to local communities.
