HOW IT WORKS

Six moves to funded

Every goal follows the same path. The tools get a bit more advanced as you get older.

  1. SET A GOAL

    Pick something you really want or need. Name it and say why it matters.

  2. RESEARCH

    Find real options and the true cost. Add your own if you already know.

  3. BUILD A BUDGET

    Add taxes, shipping, extras and fees so there are no surprises.

  4. FIND THE CASH

    TOTAL COST minus YOUR CONTRIBUTION equals the CASH NEEDED. $0 is a fine contribution.

  5. MAKE YOUR PITCH

    Build a clear proposal and ask the right people, the right way.

  6. GET FUNDED

    Track every commitment, keep your word, and watch your CASH Score grow.
