Vince Shorb, the NFEC's CEO, states, "Our latest updates make it easier for individuals who champion financial literacy programs to serve more people with top-quality financial education programming that delivers better results. We focused on developing resources and training that reduce the cost, time, and personnel required to build an effective, scalable financial education program."
Individuals and organizations around the globe have mobilized to tackle the financial illiteracy epidemic. The NFEC noticed that most of them need financial education resources, support, and guidance to make a meaningful difference.
Shorb continues, "When we started back in 2007, there was no organization there to help us build our financial literacy program. Even today, there is limited information and few resources available, so we wanted to help others who share our passion by making these resources available to other financial literacy champions. We feel nobody should have to experience the challenges we faced when starting out, so we are committed to helping our financial education champions develop high-quality programs."
The NFEC is an IRS-recognized Benefit Corporation whose mission focuses on providing top-quality financial education programming. The NFEC's social impact-focused enterprise has supported the development of thousands of programs over the last decade to reduce the cost and time needed to develop programming, while providing tools and training that increase program impact.
