The NASD Investor Education Foundation has granted a total of $1.6 million to six organizations to promote better investor education to underserved segments of the investing public. Recipients in amounts ranging from $140,000 to nearly $490,000 include American Public Media, Institute on Asset and Social Policy at Brandeis University, the Education Development Center, the National Association of State Boards of Education for kindergarten through grade 12, Ohio State University and College of William & Mary. The NASD itself says it will be introducing a The Life-Cycle Investing Program, which will focus on long-term investing.
