Pledge to make a difference, together.
The National Endowment for Financial Education has deep roots in the financial services industry, as well as in the field of education. NEFE was founded as the parent organization of the nation's first financial planning educational institution, which was incorporated in 1972. Today, the National Endowment operates as a 501 (c) (3) foundation devoted exclusively to helping Americans improve the quality of their lives through an exposure to basic programs and materials that promote positive and sound financial decision-making. NEFE accomplishes its mission primarily by partnering with other concerned organizations to provide financial education to members of the public in particular, to underserved individuals whose financial education needs are not being addressed by others.
