Advocacy, Research & Updates

The NFEC spearheads the financial wellness movement around the world through advocacy and raising awareness. Our campaigns are focused on promoting financial wellness through: promoting the adopting of financial literacy programming into schools, encouraging individuals to work toward greater financial strength, getting families involved in teaching kids about money, and sharing research with the industry to empower broader advocacy.

We commend you on your interest in the movement to promote financial literacy education and help support people to work toward greater financial wellness. Because financial education is still a grassroots movement, your participation is much valued and needed.

Featured Advocacy Campaign of the Quarter: Financial Literacy Month

On March 9, 2004 Senate Resolution 316 was passed designating April 2004 as “Financial Literacy Month” to raise public awareness about the importance of financial education in the United States and the serious consequences associated with a lack of understanding about personal finances.

Educator Spotlight of the Quarter

Kathy G. Mills didn’t get the opportunity to study practical, skills-based, money management when she was in school. That’s why she made it her mission to teach young people about finances.

From Kathy, “My passion is helping college students and young professionals understand the importance of saving early. My favorite part of working with this demographic is showing them how the Internet age has revolutionized investing. What was once viewed as a “wealthy old guy’s club” or an activity only available to “market insiders” has become accessible to everyone.”

Advocacy Center Subjects

The Advocacy Center is designed to give you information that can further the movement to increase access to quality financial literacy education. A core pillar of the NFEC’s mission is advocating for financial literacy education and providing others with the research and data they need to be effective promoters of this cause.

Financial Problems & Consequences

To become an effective advocate, it’s important for you to be well-versed in the problems people can experience if they lack capability to make qualified financial decisions. There is a vast array of such problems and they can be severe. Understanding this information will help you better communicate with others about the need for financial competence.

Childhood Influencers of an Individuals’ Finances

Personal financial problems have reached epidemic proportions and the consequences are severe. So what’s the root cause of the problem? You will learn the answer in this next section, where we explore how people’s upbringing affects their financial situations and the challenges they face as adults to overcome these problems.

Adult Influencers of an Individual’s Finances

As you learned, financial behaviors, sentiment, knowledge, and management systems start forming in childhood and are often established as habits by the time a person reaches adulthood. The problem here is that, once habits form, they are hard to change.

How We can Make a Difference Together

Now that you understand the problems associated with lack of financial capability and understand the root causes, it’s time to explore how you can participate to help push the financial literacy movement forward.

Who is an Advocate of Financial Literacy?

Advocates may come from a variety of backgrounds and positions, but they share one common feature – a desire to help others avoid financial problems and work toward greater financial security.

Educators / Trainers

Media / Reporters

Concerned Citizens

Volunteers / Nonprofits

Politicians / Government

Advocates

Financial Service Providers

Foundations / Sponsors

Corporate Groups / Entrepreneurs

Through the Advocacy Center we provide information on three core areas that are important to promoting financial literacy:

Identify

The Center sheds light on the problems associated with individuals lacking capability to make financial decisions that align with their personal goals and security needs.

Educate

Provide education on the root causes of financial problems. Knowing the underlying causes gives advocates details on how to prevent these problems among youth, and what to address in order to correct the problems among adults.

Participate

Once you understand the problems and causes, we share information on how you can participate to help push the financial literacy movement forward.

Financial Literacy Advocacy

The NFEC team is made up of passionate advocates who find ways to effectively promote financial wellness. Our financial literacy advocacy campaigns successfully raise mainstream awareness, recognize financial education advocates, and promote financial literacy.

NFEC’s CEO, Vince Shorb states, “Financial illiteracy contributes to a wide range of problems people face today – those championing the movement to encourage financial wellness are needed advocates in their community.”

We commend you for your desire to promote financial literacy and invite you to become an active participant to further our shared cause. Thanks to the efforts of supporters like you, we will positively affect the lives of the people we reach with this message.

Financial Educators Day

A Day to Recognize Financial Educators

Financial Educators Day recognizes those individuals who are working to improve the financial capabilities of people in their communities. While taking the opportunity to recognize traditional educators, we also extend our thanks to volunteers, financial professionals, concerned citizens, and others who teach financial literacy. All these individuals are invaluable to the effort.

Financial Educators Day takes place the last Friday of April each year. In 2017 the event is scheduled for April 28 (see below for a 10-year schedule). Initial support from politicians, celebrities, and organizations in the financial literacy industry have transformed the last Friday of each April into a day of recognition, celebration, and advocacy.

The NFEC has honored several hundred educators from over 44 states and 14 countries. These awards serve as public recognition for their efforts and contributions to the financial literacy movement.

Parents are encouraged to exchange cash for the candy they collect, and use the opportunity to start teaching kids money management lessons. Treat-givers are encouraged to substitute cash for candy. The NFEC also provides handouts for parents and treat-givers to help guide children toward positive financial behaviors.

In its inaugural year, this campaign was featured as the main story on CBS Marketwatch, front page MSN News, and as a Wall Street Journal feature and podcast, and also was picked up by many other media outlets.

FLEC (Financial Literacy, Entrepreneurship & Career Education)

FLEC subjects have a direct impact on the future financial security of our nation’s youth. Financial Literacy, Entrepreneurship & Career Education are directly related to young people’s ability to earn and manage their money; yet they are missing from most school curricula.

The National Financial Educators Council has formed the FLEC alliance to promote financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and career education in schools. The FLEC Alliance provides resources for those who teach these subjects while raising awareness about the vital role such education has on the financial well-being of individuals and communities across the country.

Goals of the alliance are to make FLEC education a national priority and promote this agenda so future generations become financially prepared for life.

Petitions, Legislative & Financial Literacy Advocacy Efforts

Financial Education Legislation & Petitions

The NFEC continues to expand its efforts to promote legislation that increases access to financial literacy education. We conduct this advocacy by mobilizing supporters and contributing to legislation that encourages financial wellness.

In 2013, the NFEC teamed up with Sharon Lecture to support the passage of Arizona SB1449 – a bill that requires financial literacy concepts to be permanently incorporated into economics standards and creates a separate statute for those concepts.

Currently the NFEC has drafted legislation called the College Student Protection and Financial Education Act to enlist politicians in the effort to proactively address the national college debt crisis. This legislation proposes a preventive model similar to the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, which requires people to receive budget counseling before they can file bankruptcy and financial education after they file.
