Equity Now is committed to advancing generational wealth in partnership with our communities by teaching and learning wealth-building strategies. Our ultimate goal is to ensure we build a financially sustainable community and create a culture around investing in the stock market.
Equity Now is changing the typical ideology that Financial Education and personal finance should be and has been left up to parents or guardians. Since personal finance and investing is ever-changing, parents or guardians often lack an understanding of the complexity of personal finance. If this happens, the child is at the mercy of their parent's knowledge capacity. Herein lies the need to teach Financial Education.
We are committed to advancing generational wealth in partnership with our communities by teaching and learning wealth-building strategies. Our goal is to ensure we build a financially sustainable community and to create a culture around investing in the stock market.

Equity Now, Inc. serves as the Charter Management Organization (CMO) for Legends Charter School. An essential component of our mission is to provide a rigorous Financial Education curriculum that will translate to robust investment portfolios for scholars.
Legends is a community hub that brings together many partners offering support and opportunities to children, youth, families, and communities—before, during, and after school and on weekends. Our curriculum pushes past financial literacy state standards for stronger families and healthier communities.

We have established a baseline percentage for Legends Charter School scholars to have custodial investment accounts, with a yearly increase of 25% until 90% of the student body is investing in the stock market.
