Making Money Better For Five Years

We are incredibly proud to announce the judges for the 2026 MAIAs. They represent a huge range across the spectrum of people working for financial fluency, from academics to influencers, NGOs, anti-scammers, investors, school students.

We have some MAIA winners from last year in there, and some MAIA runners-up. We think anyone working on this subject is a winner by the way.

Some are brand new this year. Some have, very, very kindly, supported the MAIAs since they were a crazy idea on a zoom call in the depths of covid.

Their support is what makes the MAIAs happen, and what we hope that does is build a community of all the people in the world working to improve financial literacy and education. So we can all get stronger.

So we can all help make money better.

Please join us in thanking these amazing people for their support.
