Chelsea expands FICO partnership to include Chelsea Foundation

Chelsea has announced a new partnership with analytics software firm FICO, expanding their partnership with FICO now joining hands with the Chelsea Foundation to work on financial literacy. The partnership will see FICO and Chelsea Foundation work together to bring  financial education to life for the teenagers in the United Kingdom. FICO and Chelsea Foundation have already hosted a financial literacy event and will host more helping students learn about how to manage a professional football club with a budget and balance sheet. 

Chelsea and FICO have been partners for three-years and the current agreement builds on it.

Mariel Zelhart, Head of Philanthropic Partnerships, Chelsea Foundation, commented,

“We are delighted to partner with FICO to provide young people with valuable financial education in such an engaging and memorable way. At Chelsea Foundation, we are committed to creating opportunities that help young people develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to thrive both now and in the future. Combining football with practical financial learning helps students to build a stronger understanding of money management, teamwork, and decision-making. We look forward to continuing our work with FICO and seeing the positive impact this partnership will have on the young people across our communities.”

Rukiya Kelly, Global Head of Corporate Impact, added,

“Financial literacy is one of the most powerful tools we can give young people, yet millions of youth around the world still lack access to basic financial education. We take great pride in partnering with an organization as impactful as Chelsea Foundation. Together, we are broadening access to personal finance education, closing the knowledge gap, and empowering the next generation to build stronger financial futures.”
