The Money Confidence Project Launches 'Investment Quest' Series in Partnership With the Nasdaq Foundation
The Money Confidence Project (MCP) has launched "The Investment Quest," a five-part video series developed with the Nasdaq Foundation to support first-time investors from under-resourced communities. The initiative aims to build confidence and foster an investor identity by combining personal stories, humor, and practical guidance in short-form videos accessible on MCP's digital platform, Million Stories. According to research conducted by Commonwealth cited in the announcement, self-perception as a member of the investing community is crucial for individuals taking their first steps into investing. The series addresses common anxieties around money and investment through relatable content tailored for mobile consumption. Geoff Howard, CEO of MCP, emphasized that the goal was to make complex financial concepts easy to understand while Jailan Griffiths from the Nasdaq Foundation highlighted its mission-driven approach. The collaboration aligns with both organizations' goals: MCP focuses on developing financial confidence and skills through educational tools like video games and apps, while the Nasdaq Foundation aims to expand access to financial knowledge for underserved communities.
