Gifting Sense

Resident

Gifting Sense helps children get ready for all the personal finance decisions that lie in their future, by teaching them how to think before they buy. Our workshops and tools allow children to experience first-hand that thinking before buying is a powerful and rewarding, not boring, life skill.

Personal finances are no different than team sports, to "win" you have to be both offensive (earn) and defensive (spend wisely). We teach kids how to practice strong financial defence. And when children learn how not to waste money, families experience increased harmony, improved financial well-being, and the knowledge that they are helping protect the planet. It's a win-win-win.

So let's give today's youth what has to be one of the best gifts ever: the habit of thinking before buying. We've made it easy and fun to do just that!

Our work has been recognized by ValueCine for shattering gender representation norms - on-screen representation of women in our films accounts for over 90% of total screen time and dialogue spoken.

As thought leaders and gently disruptive changemakers, we believe that a more equitable entertainment industry is not only achievable, but also incredibly necessary (and long overdue!) We believe that everyone deserves a seat at the table, that all bodies deserve to be represented in the media, and that all voices deserve to be equally heard and supported. Period.

We’re passionate about nurturing a culture of intersectional inclusion, care, and community while also creating excellent films. When hiring – both in front of and behind the camera - we prioritize supporting and creating opportunities for those who have been traditionally excluded from the entertainment industry.

In the not-so distant future, we hope that our inclusive ethos becomes the new industry benchmark for how mainstream media gets made.
