One Bill, One Hour, One Child Update

Financial Literacy
Every bill funds an hour of finance education for a child

Billshark's mission goes beyond lowering bills. Through One Bill, One Hour, One Child, every bill a customer submits funds an hour of personal finance education for a student — empowering a future generation to save, spend, and give wisely.

1 A Mission Beyond Lowering Bills

Billshark has always had a mission beyond just lowering bills. Our company advocates for consumers while empowering people to take control of their finances. We took that a step further. Last spring, we partnered with Ramsey Solutions to offer its premier, comprehensive Foundations in Personal Finance curriculum to 1,000 middle school students in Boston. With every bill that our customer submits to Billshark, we pay for one child to receive one hour of instruction in finance, an effort to empower a future generation and to educate them about the fundamentals of saving, spending and giving. This curriculum can be used as a primary or supplemental resource to fulfill requirements in mathematics, economics, family consumer science, business mathematics and personal finance. We believe that empowering children through education is the single best way for them to become independent, financially successful adults.

3 The Goal: 1 Million Children by 2025

Our goal is to educate 1 million children across the country by 2025. Our Sharks believe that learning to navigate financial waters at a young age is the key to success.

Every time a Billshark customer submits a bill to our Sharks, they are helping a child achieve a lifetime of financial success. The Sharks are not just reactive, they are proactive and they are spreading their knowledge, one student at a time.
