The program provides unrestricted funding, executive mentorship, and a platform to amplify their impact.

In 2023, we launched the Chime Scholars Foundation (CSF), a non-profit organization with the goal of advancing financial progress by expanding access to college, trade school, and technical programs for students from all walks of life. The idea for CSF came from our Co-founder and CEO Chris Britt, who was inspired by a neighbor who helped fund his early education. Since then, improving access to education has been a driving factor in Chris’s work.   This week, Tulane University announced that Chris will be joining its board of directors, along with four other leaders. Chris is a proud Tulane graduate and this milestone marks yet another opportunity to advance financial progress through education. Congrats, Chris, and to the entire Tulane community! #Chime #TulaneUniversity #Education #FinancialProgress

To set the tone, we're debuting a brand new ad reminding people that even small wins—like building credit, practicing "loud budgeting," and microsavings—are all signs of "making it." Stay tuned as we highlight members, celebrate Community Changemakers, and share the ways we're empowering our communities to take control of their finances. 👀 #Chime #FinancialProgress
