Celebrating Latine Heritage Month
Latine Heritage Month is about more than looking back — it’s about recognizing the strength, culture, and impact of a community that continues to shape our shared future. With over 65 million people contributing to a $4 trillion GDP, the Latine community isn’t a niche. It’s a powerhouse driving the U.S. economy, shaping culture, and leading the next generation forward.
At Stackwell, we believe everyone deserves the tools to build wealth and the confidence to chase their goals. That means creating spaces where people feel they belong, their dreams are possible, and their contributions are valued.
This month, and every month, we honor the people, traditions, and stories that remind us wealth isn’t just about money — it’s about legacy, pride, and possibility. We celebrate the resilience, joy, and brilliance of the Latine community, and we’re proud to keep pushing for a future where financial freedom is within everyone’s reach.
Just launched: Living Legacies Investment Program
At Stackwell, we’ve always said wealth-building is about more than just today. It’s about creating something you can carry forward — for yourself and for the generations coming after you. That’s why we’re so excited to share our newest program: the Living Legacies Investment Program, created in partnership with Next50 Foundation and Savings Collaborative.
This initiative will support aging adults in Colorado with $1,000 to invest, plus financial wellness workshops and access to Stackwell’s Learning Center. Over the next two years, 25 participants a year will get the chance to start investing with our Living Legacies there to support them every step of the way.
Like all of our programs, Living Legacies is built with the Stackwell playbook — pairing investment access with education and the tools people need to feel comfortable making money moves. Because when people are equipped with both resources and confidence, their goals become their reality.
“Through the Living Legacies Investment Program, we are equipping participants to create and sustain wealth that can be passed down for generations,” said Trevor Rozier-Byrd, Founder and CEO of Stackwell.
For us, this program is another proof point that wealth-building has no age limit. We’re proud to be working with partners at Next50 Foundation, who are dedicated to empowering older adults to age with independence and dignity, and Savings Collaborative, who bring deep expertise in helping people save and thrive. We can’t wait to see the impact of Living Legacies as participants not only build for today but also create wealth that can be passed down tomorrow.
Going back to school with Stackwell
We’re kicking off the school year with two programs that bring investing tools and education straight to campus. Because here’s the thing: building wealth isn’t just about access to the market — it’s about knowing what to do once you’re in. We’re here to help give students a head start.
First up, the Hampton Investment Program is back for its fourth year. Hampton students will receive a free Stackwell account, money to invest, and access to our curated suite of educational resources. What started as a pilot is now a tradition — and we’re proud to keep it going.
We’re also expanding Entergy’s Power of Prosperity Program to Arkansas this year. Through this partnership, undergraduate students at three local HBCUs — Philander Smith University, Shorter College, and Arkansas Baptist College — will also receive a free Stackwell account, money to invest, and financial learning tailored to help them thrive today and tomorrow.
Both programs follow our proven playbook, combining investing opportunity with education. It’s a formula that works, and it’s why we’re so passionate about building programs in partnership with schools and organizations who share our belief that wealth-building starts with knowledge. Here’s to a school year filled with new ideas, fresh starts, and smart money moves.
Our first-ever Learning Playlist has arrived: Meet Root to Rise
Speaking of going back to school, we’re thrilled to launch Root to Rise, a brand-new playlist in the Stackwell app designed to help you stay on track with your financial goals. This playlist is all about the power of goal setting — breaking big ambitions into bite-sized steps that keep you moving forward, without feeling overwhelmed.
Root to Rise is the culmination of a lot of hard work and creativity from our team, and it represents the first release in our new, science-backed approach to in-app education: interactive, guided lessons that meet you where you are. Each playlist blends articles, short responses, and quizzes, so you can engage with your money in ways that actually stick.
“It feels incredibly exciting to see our first learning playlist out in the world,” said Larysa Nadolny, Stackwell’s VP of Product. “Root to Rise represents not just a launch, but the start of something bigger — an opportunity to create meaningful pathways for growth and empowerment. I’m proud of what we’ve built together and can’t wait to see how people engage with it.”
Whether you’re saving, investing, or just trying to build healthier financial habits, Root to Rise is built to help you feel confident and supported every step of the way. Check it out in the Stackwell app today — your goals are waiting, and we’ve got the tools to help you rise to them.
What the Fed’s rate cut could mean for you
This month, the Federal Reserve made a move that impacts everyone with money on their mind: a rate cut. In plain terms, this makes borrowing a bit cheaper — whether it’s for a car, a home, or other loans — and is designed to encourage spending and investing to give the economy a boost.
For consumers, this can mean more flexibility in how you manage big purchases or refinance existing loans. On the flip side, savings accounts might see lower returns, so the way you’re growing your money may shift a bit.
In the markets, the reaction can be mixed. Stocks might see a bump as borrowing costs drop and spending picks up, but if the move signals broader economic caution, investors could stay cautious. Bonds and other investments react differently depending on timing and sentiment, so there’s no one-size-fits-all outcome.
In short, a Fed rate cut doesn’t mean you need to panic. It can be a good moment to reassess how your money is spread across savings and investments, but the most important thing is to keep your long-term goals in focus. Markets shift, rates change, and headlines grab attention — but steady, thoughtful moves are what help your wealth grow over time.
