Congrats to Je'Lisa and Cory, winner of Project Money Season 16 and $10,000! We're blown away by all our hard-working teams, and we can't wait to see how they keep the momentum going.

More Than Money – Life-Changing Financial Education

Project Money is about more than just managing money – it’s about achieving a better life. Throughout the program, four teams work directly with a Summit coach who provides personalized strategies and resources to make impactful changes. Teams not only improve their financial picture but inspire their friends, families and neighbors along the way.

Keep Up With The Teams!

Watch as the participants build budgets, pay off debt and figure out how to make every dollar count! At the end of the seven-month journey, we’ll see which team demonstrates the most change, and the winner will be rewarded a $10,000 prize, while the other three teams each receive $2,500.

Throughout the journey, we’ll document each team’s progress on Madison’s WKOW TV, weekly blogs, and their social media pages.

Come back and visit this page to and candid conversations.

“We created Project Money to help participants better their daily lives in a format that also inspires thousands of our neighbors to improve their financial wellness and lives, too. At its heart, Project Money is a public financial education program that helps people, families and larger communities become financially stronger through real-life financial tips they can put into action.”

 - Kim Sponem, CEO & President
