A seamless, integrated experience that gets the best entrepreneurial skill-building opportunities in front of students.
All parties involved get a say in what resources reach our students:
Educators choose the products that work best for them.
Providers decide where and how they want to offer resources.
Sponsors decide how they will direct their support.
When all three align, a match is made and educators get a grant – without any paperwork!

Educators choose your resource and pay for it with their YIPPEE Exchange points
Each product provider will have their own storefront filled with different products.
Once the educator chooses your resource, YIPPEE Exchange will provide you with the educator’s contact information. You connect with the educator to arrange for delivery of your entrepreneurship education product.
3
Get paid for your entrepreneurial lesson
Payment occurs within the system, eliminating some paperwork for you. All you need to do is complete a short verification form letting us know about your experience. Dollars will be sent directly to your bank in a 1-to-1 ratio to the points used by the educator to purchase the product.
Want to develop entrepreneurial skills in today’s youth?
YIPPEE Exchange is the place where sponsors can invest their dollars to help achieve their youth entrepreneurship goals. When an educator chooses an entrepreneurship lesson, the sponsor has already agreed to pay the product provider through their support of YIPPEE Exchange.
Sponsors have on-demand access to how their funds are being used
If the entrepreneurial skillset and building 21st century skills is part of your funding mission, we’d love to connect and discuss how YIPPEE Exchange can work for you.
THE DISRUPTED FUNDING MODEL
STEP ONE
Sponsors Target Funds

Points can only be spent when there is a sponsor fund that matches the educator’s characteristics or what the educator wants to buy.
STEP THREE
Educators Use Products With Their Students
This is where the magic happens as students learn to be entrepreneurial!
STEP FOUR
Program Providers Request Funds
Payment occurs within the system eliminating paperwork from the sponsor and provider.
STEP FIVE
Educators Review Products
Points will be given for reviews and ratings. This feedback fulfills the need for traditional grant reporting and drives demand for future programs.
STEP SIX
