A Message From Our Chairman
Welcome From Our Chairman
Welcome, and thank you for visiting The Dissinger Foundation's donor page. As Chairman, I am honored to share our mission and the profound impact your generosity enables.
At The Dissinger Foundation, we believe that the transition from school to professional life is where a young person's financial habits, professional identity, and long-term trajectory are actually set. It is also exactly where most young people are left without support. The Dissinger Fellowship exists to change that.
Through a focused, high-touch year of mentorship, personalized financial education, and a $2,000 starter fund, each Dissinger Fellow is equipped to navigate the most consequential transition of their early life. Your support directly funds those starter funds. Mentorship and operations are donated by our board, so every dollar you give reaches a Fellow.
Thank you for helping us transform lives and contribute to a brighter future.
With gratitude,
Alexander Dissinger
Chairman, The Dissinger Foundation
Where Your Dollar Goes
Every dollar funds a Fellow's starter fund.
Professionals donate their time, expertise, and networks. Your gift funds the $2,000 starter fund each Fellow earns upon completing the twelve-month program.
Where Your Gift Lands
Three Pillars of Change
Financial Education
Each Fellow receives a personalized curriculum, built on their Launch Profile, covering investing, savings, and professional financial decision-making. Designed and delivered by accomplished professionals in finance and leadership. Donated to the Foundation at no cost.
Mentorship Network
Board members and Foundation leadership, accomplished professionals across industries, serve as donated mentors, providing personalized guidance across career and life decisions.
Lasting Impact
The $2,000 starter fund, funded entirely by donations, is awarded to each Fellow upon completing twelve months of required monthly meetings, mentorship, and curriculum. Earned, not given. This is where your gift goes.
The Starter Fund
What a $2,000 starter fund makes possible
After twelve months of mentorship and financial education, each Dissinger Fellow completes the program with $2,000 to apply what they've learned. Earned capital, deployed with discipline, at the start of a career.
