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:

Financial Literacy Initiative Targeting Schools
The NFEC is committed to long-term policy adoption mandating financial education lessons in schools and proactively addressing the student loan epidemic. We developed the F.L.E.C. campaign and student load debt initiative to address these issues!
Parent Promotion Campaigns
The NFEC has developed and deployed awareness campaigns designed to encourage parents to teach their kids about money. The goal is to help parents raise financially literate youth who are self-sufficient, contributing members of society.
