A new model for building financial wellness

Our programs

  • A gray placeholder image with intersecting lines and an 'X' in the center, indicating missing or unavailable image content.

    Student Investment Program

    When it comes to investing, starting early can make all the difference. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Student Freedom Initiative, Prudential, and The Institute for Consumer Money Management to support HBCU students as they build not just their wealth but their confidence, too.

  • The image is unavailable or not provided.

    Visionary Ventures Program

    When small business owners enjoy financial stability, the ripple effect is felt by entire communities. That’s why we’re setting up LA’s small business owners for success with our partners at Social Change Fund United and the National Basketball Players Association.

  • Gray placeholder image with grid lines

    RISE Program

    When families have a sound financial strategy, they can take on new challenges with confidence. That’s why we’ve teamed up with the United Way of Southeast Louisiana to provide. ALICE households with funds to invest and financial guidance to help families move forward, stronger.

  • A blank gray placeholder image with a cross indicating no content.

    Living Legacies Investment Program

    When older adults build wealth, they can age with security and fortify their legacies. That’s why we’re working with our partners at Next50 and Savings Collaborative to empower older adults in Colorado with the funds to invest and the tools to leave a financial legacy that lasts.

  • The image appears to be a blank or placeholder image with a gray background and no identifiable objects or details.

    Hampton University Investment Program

    When you make financial wellness your focus early in life, you build the foundation for financial freedom that lasts. That’s why we’re helping students at Hampton University build essential financial skills and creating opportunities for them to invest before graduation.

  • A blank gray placeholder image with no specific content.

    Equity in Entrepreneurship

    When entrepreneurs have the support to grow their wealth sustainably, they can focus on their mission instead of their balance. That’s why we teamed up with the Michigan Black Business Alliance to support Detroit’s small business owners while they bring their visions to life.

  • The image is a gray placeholder with no specific objects or details.

    The Power of Prosperity

    When students receive support as they begin their wealth-building journeys, they graduate with more than a degree. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Entergy to support HBCU students across their service territory. We started in New Orleans and have now launched in Arkansas to bring funded investment accounts and educational tools.

When you do things differently, people take notice.

  • “I never saw people like me doing this. It was something other people did — people with financial advisors, people with generational wealth.”

    Mike, Detroit small business owner and Stacker since 2023

  • “I believe in investing — it’s not about the money you invest, but it’s a discipline, so even if it’s a small amount, the consistency is a key to building my future.”

    Elijiah, student at Morehouse and Stacker since 2025

  • “I want to be the first person in my family to invest in something. And this will also give me the opportunity to lead the generation behind me. Working with Stackwell will allow me to grow as an individual, but also allow me to grow with the community.”

    Alicia, head of ALICE household in New Orleans and Stacker since 2024

  • “Growing up, the attitude is that investing is fake or don’t waste time doing it. But now, since using Stackwell, I have a different perspective. I’m more conscious of who I follow and what I listen to and the tools I need to improve my financial health and growth.”

    Jasmine, student at Alabama State University and Stacker since 2023

  • “As a college senior and a Black woman, learning about finances and starting to invest is crucial for my independence, managing debt, and building wealth. It helps me navigate student loans, build credit, and plan for retirement, setting me up for long-term stability.”

    Krystal, student at Hampton University and Stacker since 2024

Our investing programs drive measurable impact.

One program saw:

  • A diagram showing a white circle with an arrow pointing upward into a larger green circle labeled '2.5x'.

    2.5x increase in participants reporting high levels of knowledge about investing

  • A blue circular gauge indicating 30%, with an upward arrow, and a green segment at the top

    30% increase in comfort with investing

  • Circular progress indicator showing 89% with an upward arrow in the center.

    89% of participants feel like investing is for “people like them”

  • Progress circle showing 87% completion with an upward arrow

    87% of participants reported planning ahead financially by the end of the program

  • Diagram showing a small white circle next to a larger green circle with an arrow pointing upward and the text '2x' inside the green circle.

    2x increase in confidence regarding long-term financial goals

Meet Mia

Mia, a Detroit native, uses Stackwell to help her balance being a small business owner and mother of five. “When you have children, it’s a different ballgame because now you’re responsible for them,” says Mia. “Your sole purpose becomes for them not to go through [what you went through].” Mia is stacking for the next generation.
