Tim Ranzetta, NGPF.org
Tim Ranzetta is one of my inspirational heroes. He is an extraordinarily respectful person whose sense of “giving back” is exemplary. His financial education organization is changing the lives of millions of young people, and in many cases their parents.
NGPF is a non-profit organization committed to connecting educators with free resources and equip students with the knowledge and skills to lead financially successful and fulfilling lives since 2010.
Tim is also the Founder and President of Student Lending Analytics (SLA), an independent research and advisory firm focused on finding the best lenders for students. SLA’s research has been featured in The New York Times, Washington Post, US News and World Report and Chronicle of Higher Education. SLA is not affiliated with any student lenders or other financial service firms.
Prior to SLA, Tim had leadership roles in a series of high-growth entrepreneurial ventures. He earned his M.B.A. from the Stanford Graduate School of Business and a B.S. degree in Finance with Distinction from the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia. He lives in Palo Alto, California.
In addition to countless resources on the ngpf.org website, His latest ambitious program, funded by a grant from Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand, will ensure that nearly a million high schoolers will receive life-changing personal finance education. Read about it here.
In more good news, the NGPF’s 2022 Annual Report shows “How guaranteed access to Personal Finance courses expanded to nearly 1 in 4 high school students in 2022.”
