Making Dollars + Sense
Teaching people about sound money management skills as early as possible is critical to their future success.
That’s why Dollars + Sense was born.
This financial education program helps children and adults improve their understanding of concepts and strategies around personal finances.
Free and easily accessible online, Dollars + Sense is a self-paced series of interactive modules that cover key financial concepts such as saving, investing, credit scores and identity protection, and it’s available in both English and Spanish.

A Multimillion-Dollar Commitment to Los Angeles
To get opportunities for financial education in the hands of more children in a fun and engaging way, we partnered with the second-largest school district in the country, Los Angeles Unified (LAUSD).
In 2019, we made a $1 million commitment to bring Dollars + Sense to every high school in the district. In the first three years of the initiative, we reached over 31,000 students with more than 93,000 hours of financial education.
In a ceremony held at Crenshaw High School in April 2022, our CEO of City National Entertainment Kelly Coffey presented superintendent Alberto Carvalho with a renewal of that $1 million commitment, as well as a student scholarship.
Reading is The way up
The year 2022 marks the 20th anniversary of Reading is The way up, a program we started in 2002 as an authentic way to provide children access to books and get them excited about reading.
Backpacks
We supplied more than 4,000 backpacks stocked with school supplies to K-12 students in 2022.
Students
In total, 6,000 students benefited from our 2022 backpack and textbook giveaways.
L.A. Unified School District
We renewed our $1M commitment to the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) in 2022.
Supporting DE&I Through Early Career Development
