FanDuel's Financial Literacy Initiative Grows with Operation HOPE Donation
FanDuel announced a second donation to Operation HOPE, the nation's leading non-profit dedicated to financial literacy.
The donation will help provide free financial counseling for Kentucky residents to mark one year since mobile sports betting launched in the state and reinforces FanDuel’s commitment to responsible gaming.
“At Operation HOPE, we’re proud to partner with FanDuel to help educate individuals about responsible gaming, budgeting, and savings,” John Battista, VP Partner Success at Operation HOPE, said. “FanDuel has been a committed partner supporting our efforts to empower families and communities across the U.S. with the tools they need to thrive in today’s economy.”
Through the expanded partnership, Operation HOPE will roll out its HOPE Inside program in Kentucky, offering residents free access to financial wellbeing coaches both virtually and in person.
These sessions will supply participants with the tools to strengthen their financial health by covering topics including managing entertainment spending, building savings, improving credit scores, and reducing debt.
“FanDuel believes in the importance of financial literacy education and how expanding access can promote and empower responsible gaming,” said Alison Kutler, Vice President, Responsible Gaming and Community Impact at FanDuel. “By extending the impact of our Operation HOPE partnership to Kentucky, we can help fund access to financial counseling across the state and reinforce our commitment to giving back to the communities in which we operate.”
Earlier this year, FanDuel launched its partnership with Operation HOPE by donating to expand the HOPE Inside program in Massachusetts. The Kentucky initiative marks the next phase of the collaboration. FanDuel and Operation HOPE will also launch a campaign across digital, radio, and paid social to promote the program and raise awareness of the free financial counseling available.
