Every student in the State of Nevada will soon have access to financial literacy curriculum thanks to the combined efforts of Bank of Nevada and First Independent Bank, Green Our Planet and the Nevada Department of Education. The educational partnership enables Nevada to become the first state in the nation to make comprehensive financial literacy curriculum available to every student in grades K-12.
A $300,000 donation from the Western Alliance Community Foundation – the charitable arm of Bank of Nevada dn First Independent Bank, will fund the majority of an online financial literacy academy that can be access by public, private, charter and home-schooled students anywhere in the state.
