​Believing, as Mr. Kazanjian did, that economic literacy is for everyone, the Foundation seeks projects that help students and adults often identified as “at-risk” of not participating in the market economy. From a contemporary and historical perspective, the Foundation has sponsored a variety of projects that measure economic understanding, and evaluates economic literacy projects in an effort to find out what kind of economic education works best. Economics is often considered an abstract subject, not relevant or interesting to students or adults, and therefore the Foundation seeks out projects that make the subject more interesting and easily taught in the nation’s schools and colleges.
