Organized by

Jamaur Law Foundation

The Jamaur Law Foundation provides students with the foundation to become financially competent. We teach students money basics — budgeting, checking and savings; power of credit, and investments. In turn, this empowers our participants to participate in financial discussions with their families, save for college, confidently manage their own money, and create wealth for their family members that will come after them.

Our mission is to educate and teach people about the power of Financial Literacy so we all can remove the obstacles and barriers that hold back and block people in our community from attaining a secure financial future.

Our vision is to introduce, increase, expand and widen Financial Literacy among those folks who need that literacy the most here at home and in communities everywhere.

Our purpose is to touch the lives of people in our community by helping them become more aware — and smarter — about their personal finances and their journey through our economic and financial systems. We endeavor to address the spiritual, psychological, emotional and technical aspects of personal finances.
