It's Official: Partnership with Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains

In August of 2026, FinancialBridge signed a licensing agreement with Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains to create ready-to-teach financial workshops in a box with FinancialBridge's curriculum, lessons, and activities. These boxes will help Girl Scout troops earn their financial badges, and they will be sold in stores and online. Through the boxes, FinancialBridge's resources have the potential to reach 20,000+ members across Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains.

FinancialBridge will also be leading workshops online and in-person through GSTOP. 

Additionally, through the licensing agreement, FinancialBridge has a dedicated FinancialBridge Girl Scout Badge that can be earned after completion of two FinancialBridge workshops.

FinancialBridge is very excited to be working with GSTOP and is very appreciative of the opportunity to reach thousands of girls across a large area.

It's Official: Partnership with Richardson Independent School District

In August of 2026, FinancialBridge signed a licensing agreement with Richardson ISD to have original curriculum, lessons, and activities implemented as supplemental resources in teacher portals. FinancialBridge resources are available for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grades, and for the Personal Financial Literacy High School Elective.

Through RISD, FinancialBridge has the potential to reach 35,000+ students across 4 high schools, 8 middle schools, and 36 elementary schools.

FinancialBridge is very excited about this partnership and is extremely appreciative of this opportunity.
