Jay-Z Introduces The ‘Champions For Financial Legacy’ Initiative For HBCUs
Jay-Z’s Shawn Carter Foundation has announced the launch of its “Champions For Financial Legacy” program. The program is intended to help empower students at #HBCUs by providing tools to manage personal finances in the real world.
Jay-Z founded the Shawn Carter Foundation in 2003 with his mother, Gloria Carter. Speaking on the foundation’s newest endeavor, Gloria Carter said,
“Every day at the Shawn Carter Foundation, we dedicate ourselves to uplifting students and communities that are underserved. To launch a financial education program that will reach more students and communities, is a vision we are finally seeing come to fruition.”
