KIDVESTORS AND GIVEASHARE PARTNER TO TURN STUDENTS INTO SHAREHOLDERS : A NEW ERA OF FINANCIAL EDUCATION

What started as a mission to teach kids and teens how money really works is now evolving into something even more powerful.

KidVestors x GiveAshare

When KidVestors first launched, the goal was clear: create an engaging platform that makes financial literacy fun and accessible for kids and teens. The team behind the scenes understood that when students earn while they learn, they’re more motivated to apply what they’re taught. So, the Earn While You Learn initiative was born, offering both non-monetary rewards and real cash rewards to students as they completed interactive lessons, reached key financial milestones, and prove their financial skills through games and quizzes on the platform.

But now? We’re taking things to the next level.

Thanks to a brand-new, exclusive partnership with GiveAshare, students won’t just be earning money; they’ll be using it to own a piece of the companies they learn about. That’s right: students will now have the opportunity to receive real stock as a reward!

Stocking Up on Knowledge (Literally)

GiveAshare is now pledging to match students’ cash earnings dollar for dollar on the KidVestors platform all of which can be used towards purchasing a share of stock in a company of their choice.

We’re not talking about “pretend” stock or simulations here (although we do offer virtual trading simulations for practice). We're talking about actual, real-deal ownership.

Every student who participates in the program, both U.S. citizens and international students, have the option to receive:

• An official registered stock certificate, commemorating their ownership,

• A DRS (Direct Registration System) statement, which functions much like a bank statement, showing the student’s name straight from the issuing company.

  
  

From Student to Shareholder

Not only will students receive a cool keepsake, with ownership comes opportunity.

Students become real shareholders of the companies they invest in. That means they’re entitled to:

• Annual reports from the companies,

• Any declared dividends,

• Voting proxies

• Even invitations to shareholder meetings (yes, even the fancy ones).

This level of ownership does something that no worksheet or lecture can: it creates real-world financial confidence. Students aren’t just learning about investing in theory; they’re watching it happen in real time.

Advancing Our Mission: Financial Inclusion For All

This partnership is a major win, not just for KidVestors, but for every student we serve.

At our core, we believe that financial freedom starts with financial education. And financial education shouldn't be a privilege but a right for every single student. Our platform was designed with financial inclusion at the forefront, ensuring students from all backgrounds — especially those historically excluded from wealth-building conversations — are equipped to thrive in the real world.

With this partnership, we’re doubling down on our commitment. It brings another step closer to our 5 in 5 campaign — our bold initiative to impact 5 million students in the next 5 years.

And we’re not stopping here.

We’re calling on schools, financial institutions, organizations, and corporate partners to join us in this mission. Just like GiveAshare, your organization can be part of matching or supplementing student rewards, giving kids the momentum they need to grow their portfolios and change their futures.

Let’s create a world where a 10-year-old can talk confidently about dividends, where a teen understands what it means to vote on a proxy, and where financial knowledge isn’t a luxury, it’s a standard.

The Future Looks Bright (and Well-Invested)

This is only the beginning. We’re excited about what this partnership represents, not just for KidVestors and GiveAshare, but for every child and teen who dreams of building wealth, understanding money, and changing the narrative around what’s possible.

It’s about seeing students from all walks of life light up when they realize they’re not just learning about wealth. They’re building it.

It’s about giving kids ownership in the world around them, quite literally. And about proving to them that they don’t have to wait until they’re older to participate in the financial game.

They’re in the game now.

We’re turning students into shareholders, learners into leaders, kids into KidVestors.

There’s room at the table. And now, there’s stock too.

We know what happens when kids are given tools, confidence, and support. They rise.

And with every stock certificate earned, every company researched, and every dividend received, we’re reminded of our mission:

To make sure every kid has the opportunity to be a KidVestor.

Let’s build a generation of young investors, together.
