Education
HSBC invests in educational programs that are sustainable and add value to our communities through our Community Investment department.
Philanthropic Giving
HSBC's Community Investment department focuses on projects and organizations that educate students aged 3-25, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds or for schools in economically deprived areas. HSBC provides Corporate Contributions that give young people hope, a positive attitude, opportunities for success, and a better future.
HSBC is proud of our signature partnership with Junior Achievement, the world's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to educating young people to value free enterprise, business and economics.
Financial Education
HSBC's Community Investment department also provides and supports financial education for adults and youth through the YourMoneyCounts® financial education platform in order to help people become more confident in managing their money and making more informed financial decisions.
The cornerstone of the platform is the Web site, YourMoneyCounts.com, which has experienced more than 4.4 million visits since 2003. The easy-to-use site has a wealth of information covering more than fifteen different topics in a straightforward, easy-to-understand manner, along with the popular, interactive calculators—all designed to help you manage your money, learn about saving, spending and borrowing. Visitors to YourMoneyCounts.com will find a commercial-free site, containing no marketing messages or product pitches.
Adult Financial Literacy Workshops
HSBC partners with the Center for Neighborhood Enterprise (CNE) to offer financial literacy workshops to adult consumers. Since the program's launch in 2003, this partnership has provided financial education in the areas of money management, credit, homeownership and more to over 34,500 individuals and families.
YourFutureCounts®
HSBC has a partnership with The Society for Financial Education and Professional Development (SFEPD) for the YourFutureCounts® program, a series of personal money management and credit management seminars to juniors and seniors at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Since this program began in 2005, more than 64,500 students have received financial education instruction at a critical point in their lives.
