Financial education needs to serve readers of all backgrounds. We aspire for our content, staff, contributors, and partner organizations to further the financial empowerment of those from all ethnicities, genders, generations, sexual orientations, abilities, and socioeconomic backgrounds, particularly those who may be disadvantaged.

Content. We continually seek to remove bias from our content in the service of being as objective and helpful as possible for all readers.

Since 2020, we’ve reviewed every educational article in Investopedia’s library. That review resulted in edits made to articles that were deemed to have biased language or information. Just as importantly, the review helped identify opportunities for making our content more inclusive to all audiences. We also created content to offer deeper examinations of subjects like housing discrimination.

Community. There are many organizations help serve the needs of disadvantaged groups. We currently partner with five such organizations and use Investopedia’s reach and expertise to help them execute their mission.

– Investopedia is a proud partner of Wall Street Bound, which teaches the technical “hard” skills of finance and the “soft” skills of corporate culture to empower under-represented young adults to achieve beyond their present horizons.
