Banzai 101 Quickstart
These are your first steps to empowering teachers, engaging with students, and strengthening your community impact through hands-on financial education.
With your sponsorship, schools receive free access to Banzai's award-winning financial literacy resources. And the students aren't the only ones to benefit—this program also supports teachers by offering professional development, teacher training, and classroom materials, with your brand at the center of it all.
This quickstart walks you through how to make the most of your school partnership, from setup to success.
School Product Implementation
When you sponsor schools through Banzai, your institution becomes their direct partner in financial education. Here's how to get started and ensure the program thrives in your sponsored classrooms:
Step 1: Connect with Your Banzai Representative
Your dedicated representative will guide you through onboarding, branding setup, and school engagement strategies. They'll also help align your sponsorship goals with your institution's community impact objectives.
Step 2: Review Your Sponsored Schools
Once setup is complete, you'll gain access to the School Dashboard within your Banzai Manager account. There, you can view active schools, teacher contacts, workbook orders, and presentation requests.
Step 3: Plan for Engagement
Use the ready-made tools and presentations in your Manager Toolkit to begin connecting with schools. Plan to attend or host presentations, respond promptly to teacher requests, and explore ways to integrate Banzai into your community outreach calendar.
What's included with Schools sponsorship
Direct's toolkit is largely marketing-and-engagement focused. Schools sponsorship is a different beast—you're supporting real classrooms. Here's what your sponsorship enables and how to use each piece.
In-person + virtual presentations Access ready-made, age-appropriate presentations and handouts on essential financial topics like budgeting, saving, credit, and debt. Teachers request presentations directly from your institution; you deliver them using the provided slides and presenter notes. Browse workshops by age at Education → Workshops.
Teacher communication Streamline outreach with customizable email templates in your Manager dashboard. Whether responding to presentation requests, fulfilling workbook orders, or initiating contact with new teachers, communication stays simple and professional. See Contacting Teachers for the workflow.
School usage reporting Access engagement metrics—sponsored teachers, workbook order history, presentation requests, teacher notes, and student feedback. Every report is exportable as CSV. See Tracking Workbook Orders and Reporting & Impact 101.
Teacher development Every month, educators can attend two professional development webinars—one live and one on-demand—led by Banzai's curriculum experts and guest educators. By sponsoring, your institution is recognized as a supporter of teacher growth.
Omnipresent branding Your institution's logo and name appear throughout the Banzai platform—from the student dashboard to inside interactive game elements. Students and teachers always associate financial literacy learning with your brand's support.
Teacher & student feedback Built-in feedback tools let teachers and students share comments and testimonials directly with your team. Use this feedback to see your impact and share genuine stories that demonstrate your sponsorship's success.
