Who we are

Our Co-Founders, Corey Wong and Nesty Dogbatse, founded Financing our Futures in 2022 after struggling to find resources to better financially educate themselves.

Wanting to find a solution they created the organization to ensure that other students would not have to endure the same fate.

As a low-income student, Nesty faced many obstacles. She later became a Questbridge finalist, and is now attending Villanova University on a full-ride scholarship.

Corey has always been interested in finance. After becoming a stock trader and investor, he has set up several resources to help others in need, and is now attending Northeastern University on an academic scholarship.
