How does it work?

My Kids' Money is a book that guides the parent through the conversation and processes necessary to equip their children with a solid foundation in basic money management concepts. The book, worksheets and other tools provide the framework, the parents provide the values and time.

Creating Momentum

Its 8:20 in the morning, and I am pumped up about the progress so far!

The domain name is registered - www.itsmykidsmoney.org.  Decided not to pay the $285 for my original domain name - more cash for the charity's goals that way.


Speaking of the charity, I spoke to the folks at http://www.cdprograms.org/ this morning, and it sounds like such a great way to get started with a minimum of capital required.  Sure there are some limitations, like no donations from any relatives, but they make it easy to have legit charitable status so that all donations are tax deductible.  They also keep us on the straight and narrow regarding compliance with the laws governing charitable organizations.  Looks like I have some paperwork ahead of me, and about a month of review and then hopefully we will be up and running.

By the way - 


I am searching for a partner on this project.  The restriction on donations from family of the Program Director will prevent me from being the Program Director because of the nature of our fund raising model.  Anybody interested in making a difference?!
