Thank you! Its been a wild year, but we are super proud to be able to continue to serve the military community.

The Guild Foundation is just another tool in the tool kit that allows us to support our mission of increasing the financial health and wealth of the military community. The non-profit side is mostly focused on the education and financial literacy piece. We are trying to make everyone better investors, better strategists for growing wealth, and protecting assets. We are obviously focused on the military community and there are some unique aspects of military money, but most of the curriculum is just good financial practices delivered in a digestible way. Outside of the military there is a large need for finlit, but critical for those who have worn the cloth of the country. Can certainly make the argument there is nobody more deserving to participate in fruits of the American economy.

One of the best things we have been able to do at the Foundation is take this show on the road. We have been touring the country going to bases and units to do in person financial literacy training. Just so much more effective when you can get in front of room of 150 sailors or marines and tell your story and then deliver the information. Its also the most fun part of the job!
