When Chicago Ideas partner Capital One sought out to invest for good, they asked themselves a series of questions, like, “what if we had the power to inspire a 13-year old to be the next Steve Jobs?” They can, so they do. 

Capital One is on a mission to change banking for good. This unique expression of social impact is exemplified through their Future Edge program, designed to give communities at local and national levels a better future in the digital economy by empowering them with financial literacy.
