But I also don’t think that plain-vanilla advice along the lines of “don’t normally carry a balance on your credit cards” requires a special non-profit.
What do you think the best way to get these types of messages to sink in is?
Isn’t that the purpose of having a non-profit around becoming more rational?
So far Gleb is personally splashing in the slime pools of HuffPo while demonstrating, to my eyes, a rather breathtaking lack of a clue about marketing...

Yes, it remains to be seen (for me) whether Gleb is the right one to lead this non-profit, but I read your original statement as saying that such a non-profit shouldn’t exist.
Not quite. Judgments about what should or should not exist are usually presumptuous and silly—if Jane Doe wants to set up and run a non-profit aiming, say, to impress the wonders of the high-fiber diet on the constipated populace, she can perfectly well do so and I don’t see my opinion about that as relevant.
I wouldn’t run one and I would expect such a non-profit to be not an efficient use of money, but that’s just me.

Um, an advertising campaign professionally designed? :-/ If you want to manipulate people, ask those who do that for a living.
I’m rather sceptical about educating the stupid, though.
Who pays for the professional design? Who coordinates it?

Whoever wants this to happen.
