End-to-end Support for Financial Education Champions
The NFEC provides end-to-end support so instructors and program leaders can focus on impact. Whether you’re launching a program from scratch or strengthening an existing initiative, we help design, staff, and scale high-quality financial education offerings that produce measurable outcomes. Our goal is simple: boost program effectiveness while reducing the time, cost, and personnel burden of getting results.
Democratizing Financial Education
Financial education remains a grassroots movement, and we work to democratize access so organizations of every size can deploy meaningful programs. By offering turnkey resources, training, funding guidance, and local partnerships, we help communities deliver practical financial education that builds capability, confidence, and long-term resilience.
Qualified Training and Instructor Connections
Professional Development & Qualified Instructor Connections
We provide industry-leading training for both aspiring and experienced personal finance instructors, equipping them with evidence-based methods, assessment tools, and classroom-ready materials. For organizations booking financial education programs, we connect you with certified CFEI® graduates – trained professionals who deliver measurable learning gains and repeatable, fundable results.
Assessments & Reporting Tools
Our assessment bank offers diverse instruments that track outcomes across nine core domains, measuring progress at every stage – from baseline and mid-program checks to post-program and follow-up. These measures capture knowledge, skills, behaviors, sentiment, and other indicators to give a full picture of participant growth. Built-in reporting templates turn your data into polished, funder-ready impact reports.
Curriculum with Custom Branding Options
Access a comprehensive, standards-aligned curriculum for kids, teens, and adults built on proven instructional methodologies and flexible delivery formats. The modular design lets you choose lessons that match your learners’ needs, and customizable branding options ensure that materials reflect your organization’s identity.
Program Design & Deployment Support
We help you design measurable programs and manage deployment logistics – from lesson sequencing and business modeling to data gathering and learner experience – so your initiative launches smoothly and achieves results. Our one-on-one consultations with program leaders diagnose needs, set priorities, and produce an actionable roadmap to launch, improve, or scale your financial education program.
Awareness and Brand Support
Raising the awareness and brand equity of outstanding financial education professionals strengthens the field and raises industry standards. All CFEI® graduates and State Chapter Board members are eligible for program spotlights and promotional opportunities that showcase proven work and amplify programs that are making a measurable difference.
Learner Experience Resources
Our Learner Experience toolkit provides the operational resources you need to deliver consistent, professional instruction from kickoff through reinforcement. Materials and training are provided for every stage – before, during, and after delivery – so learners enjoy a positive experience and your organization builds a reputation for professionalism.
Funding Support
The NFEC sponsors programs that demonstrate measurable impact and connects patrons and partners with local financial education opportunities. We also run quarterly Funding Mentorship cohorts that help individuals and organizations secure and steward sustainable revenue-providing tailored funding plans, grant and sponsor assets, and hands-on coaching to shorten the path from pilot to funded program.
Leadership & Advocacy Opportunities
At the core of the NFEC is advancing financial education so every child graduates with the knowledge and confidence to make sound financial decisions. We are far from that goal, so we mobilize multi-front advocacy campaigns – from legislation and policy to public opinion and parental engagement – to accelerate meaningful change. Our United for Financial Literacy Advocacy Committee serves as the national action arm, while State Advisory Boards provide local leadership, build partnerships, and translate national priorities into community impact.
