Coeus Global

Our Mission

Cents Ability is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating and empowering high school students to achieve their goals through the prudent and informed management of their financial resources.

Our History

Cents Ability, Inc. was founded in 2004 by two Harvard University graduates, Alexa DuPont and John Moore, who saw a need in the country for education in personal finance. The organization was established to provide young adults in New York City public high schools and low-income communities with the financial tools and knowledge to achieve their goals. A team of volunteers developed our curriculum alongside the National Endowment for Financial Education and the standards set forth by the Jump$tart Coalition.

Background Screening Requirement

In order to be a volunteer or employee with Cents Ability, an organization affiliated with the National Council of Nonprofits or one of their State Associations, each candidate is required to have a criminal background check completed prior to beginning their service.

Cents Ability, as a nonprofit organization, typically incurs the cost of all background checks conducted on our volunteers.

If you would like to help us dedicate more of our limited funds to supporting our mission, please consider paying for your volunteer background check via your personal credit card (speak with your your Cents Ability administrator if you have any questions).

By purchasing your volunteer background check yourself, you will help us provide additional services to those in need.

We are grateful for the support of our volunteers and appreciate your consideration of this offer.
