In 2024, the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and The Opportunity Initiative celebrated an incredible second season of Opportunity Knocks, a series dedicated to promoting financial wellness.
This groundbreaking series continues to transform lives by turning complex financial challenges into economic success stories. With its feel-good reality TV format, Opportunity Knocks inspires millions of viewers to take control of their financial health and eliminates the shame often associated with financial struggles.
A key tool in this effort is the Wave2 Locator Platform, which powers the show’s Opportunity Finder both on-screen and for viewers at home. This innovative search and mapping tool connects millions of people nationwide to a network of nearly 20,000 nonprofits, CDFIs, MDIs, and not-for-profit credit unions. Whether viewers need to eliminate a predatory loan, build a resume, start a business, or access job training, the Opportunity Finder helps them find local resources to make it happen.
Making a Difference, with Credit Unions and CDFIs!
“Everyone deserves access to financial empowerment. Viewers of Opportunity Knocks witness life-changing transformations and are inspired to seek help themselves,” said Jamie Strayer, Creator of Opportunity Knocks. “Wave2’s technology in the Opportunity Finder acts as a bridge, helping viewers at home to connect with the resources they need to improve their own lives. This helps level the playing field and breaks down barriers for families striving to get ahead.”
“We’re proud to play a small part in empowering people to move from financial hardship toward financial health,” said Jason Green, Co-Founder of Wave2. “Opportunity Knocks and The Opportunity Initiative are leading the largest coordinated economic mobility campaign in U.S. history, and it’s an honor to contribute to this transformative effort.”
