ING Foundation

Girls Inc. is proud to partner with the ING Foundation to bring critical financial education to girls. Through the ING-Girls Inc. Investment Challenge, teams of teen girls build and manage diversified, real-time $50,000 portfolios over three years with the support of ING U.S. employee volunteers. After three years, two-thirds of any gains are paid by the ING Foundation to the girls in the form of scholarships for post-secondary education; one-third of gains are granted to the local Girls Inc affiliate to support programming. In 2013, Girls Inc. and the ING Foundation expanded its partnership to launch ING-Girls Inc. Investing Matters, a one-year curriculum that allows teen girls to develop a $36,000 portfolio guided by ING U.S. employee volunteers as they learn the role of investing, saving, budgeting, and philanthropy in personal finance.
