FanDuel, a prominent player in the gaming industry, has joined forces with Operation Hope, a nonprofit organization dedicated to offering long-term financial education. This collaborative effort is part of a charitable initiative aimed at promoting financial empowerment and literacy among individuals. Through a meticulously crafted program known as Hope Inside, the partnership seeks to make a meaningful impact by providing the residents of Massachusetts with easily accessible and free financial education classes.
Operation Hope specializes in coaching individuals on various aspects of financial education, promoting literacy, and empowering communities. The collaboration with FanDuel will enable the launch of the Hope Inside program in Massachusetts, offering both in-person and virtual sessions facilitated by Financial Wellbeing Coaches. These sessions will cover a range of crucial topics, including building savings, managing credit scores, and reducing debt. One of the standout features of this initiative is that all courses will be provided free of charge to Massachusetts residents, ensuring widespread accessibility.
Christian Genetski, President of FanDuel, emphasized the importance of financial literacy, stating, “Operation Hope’s work has demonstrated that when individuals have a strong foundation of financial literacy, they are better equipped to manage their spending responsibly. FanDuel is committed to giving back to the communities in which we operate, and we believe that supporting proven financial literacy programs is a natural extension of our work to promote and empower responsible gaming.”
Genetski further added: “Partnering with Operation Hope, a leader in the space, to help fund critical financial literacy education and providing access to financial counselling in communities across Massachusetts is the latest evolution in FanDuel’s efforts.”
As part of the collaborative effort, both FanDuel and Operation Hope will launch social awareness programs and advertisements to further amplify the impact of their initiative. This multifaceted approach aims to reach a broader audience and create lasting positive change in the financial well-being of Massachusetts residents.
Brian Betts, President and CFO of Operation Hope, emphasized the transformative potential of the Hope Inside program, stating, “Hope Inside is designed to equip clients with the tools and resources required to make informed decisions about their finances. Through this partnership with FanDuel, we can help empower those who want to learn how to take control of their finances, which can ultimately lead to less stress and a higher quality of life.”
This initiative coincides with FanDuel’s ongoing campaign, the Kick of Destiny 2, featuring prominent figures such as Rob Gronkowski, Jon Cena, and Carl Weathers. As FanDuel continues to make strides in both responsible gaming and community empowerment, the collaboration with Operation Hope stands as a testament to their commitment to making a positive impact beyond the realm of sports and entertainment.
