Fund Financial Education in the Communities You Serve
Support Local Financial Education. Strengthen Your Community.
Organizations have an opportunity to make a direct impact in the communities where their employees, customers, members, and stakeholders live and work. Through NFEC State Chapters, we develop geographically targeted financial education initiatives that help people build greater financial capability while supporting the goals of participating organizations.
Our approach is designed to create value for everyone involved – expanding access to financial education, strengthening local communities, and helping supporters advance their mission, community engagement, visibility, and relationship-building objectives.
Built for Long-Term Impact in Your Community
Every community has different needs, priorities, and opportunities. NFEC works with supporters to develop initiatives around the geographic areas, audiences, and outcomes that matter most to them.
Funding can support efforts at the city, county, regional, or statewide level – from direct education and educator development to partnerships, research, public awareness, advocacy, and other work that strengthens the local financial education ecosystem.
The goal is not simply to fund a one-time program. It is to build lasting local capacity that expands access, strengthens professionals and organizations, develops partnerships, and continues improving financial education outcomes over time.
NFEC’s State Chapter model is designed to help communities build the relationships, resources, leadership, and infrastructure needed for sustainable impact.
Build a Partnership Around Your Priorities
NFEC partnership packages are designed to be flexible. Organizations can select one area of support or combine multiple opportunities into a broader community impact partnership based on the geographic markets, audiences, initiatives, and outcomes that matter most to them.
Together, the three areas below can be customized into one integrated partnership package that supports local financial education while helping your organization strengthen relationships, reach priority audiences, and demonstrate measurable community impact.
1. Geographic Targeted Financial Education
Direct support toward the cities, counties, regions, or states that matter most to your organization.
Funding can support educator development, school and community programming, local financial wellness initiatives, research, outreach, advocacy, and State Chapter partnerships. Programs can be tailored around the communities where your customers, employees, members, and stakeholders live and work. Support may include:
- Educator development and local instructor support
- Financial education programs for schools, nonprofits, employers, and community organizations
- Local financial wellness events and initiatives
- Public awareness and advocacy efforts
- Community research and needs assessments
- Outreach to priority populations
- State Chapter initiatives and partnerships
2. Audience & Partner Connections
Extend your partnership by connecting with NFEC’s network of financial educators, professionals, organizations, community leaders, and advocates.
Opportunities can be designed around the audiences your organization wants to reach and may include professional outreach, educational campaigns, community partnerships, events, and content initiatives.
This component can help strengthen relationships, increase visibility, reach priority audiences, and connect your organization with people already working to advance financial education and economic empowerment.
3. Community Engagement Campaigns
Add family and community engagement campaigns that extend financial education beyond formal programs and create practical opportunities for people to apply financial concepts in everyday life.
NFEC offers established campaigns throughout the year, including Take Kids to Work, Cash for Candy Halloween, and Chores for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day gifts. These initiatives help families talk about money, make decisions together, and reinforce positive financial behaviors.
Campaigns can be incorporated into a broader geographic or audience-focused partnership to create additional touchpoints throughout the year.
Create Community Impact While Advancing Your Business and Mission
Financial education creates a natural connection between community impact and the goals of financial service organizations. Partners can provide meaningful education to the communities they serve while building trust, strengthening relationships, increasing visibility, and creating new opportunities for engagement.
Depending on your goals, partnerships can support:
Our goal is to create partnerships where communities gain meaningful access to high-quality financial education while supporting organizations to build trust, strengthen relationships, demonstrate impact, and create sustainable opportunities for growth.
One Partnership. Built Around Your Goals.
NFEC partnership opportunities are designed as flexible building blocks that can be combined into one customized strategy based on your organization’s mission, geographic priorities, target audiences, and desired outcomes.
As a Certified B Corporation, NFEC is committed to creating partnerships that balance meaningful community impact with real value for the organizations supporting the work. Our team works with each partner to understand where they want to make an impact, who they want to reach, and what outcomes matter most.
An organization may fund financial education in a priority market, connect with educators and community organizations in that region, support family engagement campaigns, or combine several initiatives under one coordinated partnership.
Whether your organization wants to support one community, several markets, or an entire state, NFEC can develop a partnership that aligns community needs with your organizational objectives, bringing together the right mix of programming, audience engagement, visibility, relationships, and measurable outcomes.
