A Foolish day on Wall Street! Looking good, David Gardner and George Khalaf. Turns out our Chairman and Executive Director clean up pretty well behind the Nasdaq desk. Not a bad way to spend a Monday. 🃏
Welcome to the board, Max Keeler.
Max spent almost 30 years at The Motley Fool as CTO, Chief Projects Officer, and SVP of International Operations. He built the company's portfolio management process from scratch, led its international expansion, and sat in the room for more than one reorganization that changed how the place ran.
He learned about investing young, and he says it gave him real advantages in life. Now he wants to help give those same advantages to as many people as possible. That's why he's joining us.
Watch the video below to hear from Max himself.
Welcome, Max. 💛

Ever wonder who's behind the Fool Community Foundation?
Meet our new series: Fool's Gold. Three questions with one member of our team at a time, starting with our Executive Director, George Khalaf.
In his debut, George shares the money lesson he learned moving from Beirut to New Jersey at age ten, the first job that taught him more than he realized at the time (tennis coach), and the moment he knew this work was where he belonged.
Our favorite line: "Your future can look very different from your present if you're willing to think long term and keep moving forward."

Who should we ask three questions next? Tell us in the comments.
Last week’s in-person Fool Community Foundation board meeting left us feeling grateful and energized.
There is something special about being in a room with people who care deeply about helping more families, students, nonprofits, and communities move closer to financial freedom.
This short video captures a little of the heart behind what we’re building together.
At the Fool Community Foundation, we believe financial freedom should be everybody’s business. And we’re proudly foolish enough to believe that small actions, shared consistently, can create real momentum.
If this mission speaks to you, we’d love for you to subscribe for Fool updates and follow along:

Grateful for our board, our team, and everyone helping make this work possible. 💛
We want you to meet Clarity Burke.
She's a former teacher who joined the Fool Community Foundation because she believes every young person deserves to feel confident about money before they're out in the world figuring it out on their own.
Clarity works on the Freedometer, and the thing that drives her is pretty simple: that moment when an 18-year-old sits down to make their first investing decision and thinks "I've got this" instead of "I have no idea what I'm doing."
So she builds simulations. Real decisions with real outcomes. Learning that feels like experimenting instead of studying.
The Freedometer is coming to classrooms this fall, and we couldn't be more excited about the team behind it.
Watch Clarity talk about it here. 👇

The verdict is in: We actually like each other outside of Zoom! 💛
It was so great to finally trade pixels for real-life conversations. There’s a different kind of energy that happens when you get a group of people this dedicated to a cause in the same room. We’re definitely heading into tomorrow with a fresh wave of inspiration (and maybe a few funny stories).
So happy to be part of this incredible FCF crew.

Tim kept showing up.
While raising four kids in Los Angeles, he was also paying down past-due rent, month by month.
By the time $600 was all that remained, Tim had already done the hard part: made a plan, stuck with it, and kept building toward stability for his family.
That’s where NeighborShare, one of our ImpactFool nonprofits, stepped in to help Tim finish what he started.
This is the kind of timely, practical support the ImpactFool Fund is designed to help fuel: nonprofits meeting real people at the exact moment a little help can make a lasting difference.
Sometimes impact looks like one final brick in a foundation someone has already been building. 💛

Quick question. Why do students learn the Pythagorean theorem before compound interest?
The Freedometer is trying to change that.
It is coming to classrooms this fall and helps students learn investing through interactive scenarios, simulations, and real financial decisions.
We opened an early sneak peek and would genuinely love feedback before the full rollout.

The goal is simple. Investing education that makes sense and actually sticks.

Cathy is a mom in Jacksonville, NC who looked at what a regular job would actually pay after childcare and decided to bet on herself instead.
She started a romantic picnic business for military couples, which is exactly as wonderful as it sounds.
To get it off the ground, she needed a website, some business cards, and a price list. Under $400 total. NeighborShare found her a donor who covered it.
That's what our ImpactFool Fund is built for. Learn more here: https://foolfoundation.org/if-fund/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=neighborsharestory&utm_content=cathy
