Founding Student Bursary • August 10–14, 2026

The Money Club.Org is a startup-style summer program where kids learn how money moves by building real products through guided sprints. Every dollar is visible. Kids receive a $50 build budget to build, price, test and sell a product or service.

This is the model:

kids learn financial literacy through radical transparency
mentors get meaningful paid work
families help kickstart a local feedback loop of learning, demand, and community value

Our problem statement: We are trying to prove that a small, transparent nonprofit can create real value for kids and meaningful work for University of Toronto student mentors.

Many kids already earn money in small ways: babysitting, tutoring, reselling things, or helping out around the neighbourhood.

The Money Club.Org takes that instinct further.

It is a one-week, startup-style program where students learn how money moves by building real product ideas through guided sprints.

Each student receives a $50 build budget, included in tuition, to research ideas, create prototypes, test concepts, and learn what happens when an idea meets the real world.

That is how they learn:

what makes something valuable
how pricing works
how costs and margins add up
why some ideas hold up — and others do not

This is financial literacy, design thinking, and AI applied in practice.
