Gaetano Sacco highlights key programs that innovative post-graduates are utilizing to both give back philanthropically while making their student debt payments.

1. POST GRAD CHARITY
Gaetano Sacco

2. POST-GRAD LIFE CAN
SOMETIMES SEEM AS IF
YOU’RE LIVING IN LIMBO
If you’re not one of the 69.4 percent of lucky
young adults aged 20-24 to be employed, making
ends meet can be seemingly impossible.

3. WHAT INHIBITS CHARITY FOR
THOSE JUST OUT OF COLLEGE?
➤ Rent & bills
➤ Cost of groceries
➤ Car & insurance payments
➤ Student loan payments
➤ The cost of having a social life

4. IN FACT, THE AVERAGE COLLEGE
GRADUATE WILL LEAVE THEIR COLLEGE
OR UNIVERSITY WITH A DEGREE OF
THEIR EARNING, AS WELL AN MORE
THAN $30,000 IN STUDENT LOAN DEBT
So it’s no surprise that the resourceful post-grads
of today are finding ways to solve their debt crisis

5. RECENT GRADUATES
HAVE EVEN FIGURED
OUT A WAY TO MAKE
THESE PAYMENTS
MEANINGFUL AND
CHARITABLE
So what are they?

6. SPONSORCHANGE
➤ This organization aims to:
➤ help young adults surge some high-impact non-profit volunteer work
into their resumes
➤ increase civic engagement
➤ decrease the student loan burden
➤ By creating a Change Agent profile, you can propose community
service projects and ask for sponsorship
➤ Each hour of charitable work earns Change Agents somewhere
between $10 and $20 and they go directly to your student loan
payments so sponsors don’t have to worry about you actually spending
it on a wild night out

7. ZEROBOUND
➤ Utilizes a unique crowdfunding platform
➤ Goals are to connect volunteers with donors and create a
community of charitable young adults
➤ By creating a profile, users are able to detail the volunteer
projects they are involved with, as well as a financial goal for
donations
➤ If their campaign is a success, the earnings of their
crowdfunding campaign is applied directly towards their
student loan debt.
