Our team

The people who make FFI run.

FFI runs on departments, not a ladder. Content, curriculum, workshops, and outreach all feed the same rooms, and most of our team teaches. Our partner network reaches 24 chapters across 9 states plus India, Qatar, and Uganda. We also ran a national stock market competition with Brightside Finance Foundation.
