About TYME Project Foundation
TYME Project Foundation (Teaching Youth Money Empowerment) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping college students stay housed through financial confidence.
We believe that no student should ever have to choose between paying rent and pursuing their education.
Founded by Frida Tillman, TYME Project Foundation was created out of a deep understanding of the financial challenges college students face—especially those living in student housing or on limited aid. Frida recognized that many students lose stability not because of lack of ambition, but because they were never taught how to manage their financial aid effectively. TYME bridges that gap with education, mentorship, and compassionate accountability.
Our Mission
TYME Project Foundation empowers college students to stay housed through financial confidence. We teach practical budgeting, mentorship, and financial literacy tools that protect education and build long-term stability. Our mission is to ensure that every student has the knowledge and support needed to prioritize housing, manage financial aid responsibly, and focus on their education without fear of instability.
Our Approach
TYME meets students where they are—with workshops, peer mentorship, and real-world tools that make budgeting approachable and relevant. Through small group sessions and one-on-one guidance, we help students learn how to stretch financial aid, plan ahead for rent, and build habits that create lasting independence.
Our Vision
A world where every college student has the financial confidence and stability to succeed—free from the fear of losing housing. TYME envisions campuses where financial education is seen not as an afterthought, but as a foundation for academic and personal success.
Join the Movement
Every student deserves a stable place to call home while pursuing their dreams. Together, we can make housing insecurity a challenge of the past. Join us in empowering students to stay housed and thrive.
