Access to Capital and Financial Empowerment

For many people, the “American Dream” does not mean enormous wealth—but, for almost all people, it does mean economic stability. Stability means that you know where the rent payment is coming from, that you have money saved for an emergency, and, ultimately, that your family is safe and protected from economic want.

Our online and in-person Visitor Center will tell the story of the contributions of the American financial system to the great social, cultural and technological advances of the 20th century, while also addressing the challenges of capitalism. And through our online educational programming, quizzes and competitions, we promote financial literacy and empowerment. Our goal is to promote accessible and inclusive free market economies where everyone succeeds.
