Our Advocacy Efforts Focus on 6 Core Campaigns
Financial Educator Recognition & Awards
The NFEC contends that it is the educators and people who lead programs in communities across the country that are the true champions. To help encourage and support them, we have built out campaigns that recognize individuals who are successfully providing financial literacy programming. The NFEC has two signature financial education recognition campaigns:
