Building Financial Wellness – One State at a Time
At the National Financial Educators Council (NFEC), we believe that real financial empowerment begins at the community level. That’s why our state chapters focus on targeted advocacy, local support, and scalable financial wellness initiatives that drive lasting change.
From equipping individuals with life-changing financial skills to building relationships with local leaders, we’re working to shift the financial literacy landscape – state by state. Through our initial state chapters, financial education resources have been delivered to more than 1,000 organizations. These efforts are amplified by award ceremonies that recognize outstanding students, educators, and community leaders who are driving financial literacy forward.
NFEC Current State Chapters
We’re building a national network of state chapters so high-quality financial education reaches every community. Our goal is to have active representation in all 50 states (and US territories), partnering with local leaders to deliver training, resources, and measurable programs that meet each community’s needs. Below is our current roster of state chapters – find your chapter, connect with local champions, or learn how to start one in your area.

Education Events, Award Ceremonies, & Interactive Initiatives
Through our initial state chapters, financial education resources have been delivered to more than 1,000 organizations. These efforts are amplified by award ceremonies that recognize outstanding students, educators, and community leaders who are driving financial literacy forward. In addition, interactive campaigns – such as the Cash for Candy Halloween initiative, Back to School campaign, and Take Kids to Work Day – encourage broader community participation, making financial education more engaging, accessible, and influential for all ages.

Advisory Board Relationships & Collaborations
Each NFEC state chapter is strengthened by the diverse expertise and connections of its Advisory Board members. These leaders play a key role in forging partnerships, fostering cross-sector collaboration, and opening doors to new opportunities that expand financial education access. Through shared initiatives, joint campaigns, and statewide networking, Advisory Board members help amplify the chapter’s impact and build a unified movement for financial wellness within their communities.
