Who We Are

The National Endowment for Financial Education® (NEFE®) is an independent, nonprofit foundation committed to educating Americans on a broad range of financial topics and empowering them to make positive and sound decisions to reach their financial goals.  For more than 30 years, NEFE has been providing funding, logistical support, and personal finance expertise to develop a variety of materials and programs, such as the Smart About Money public awareness campaign and this website.

While our foundation works to provide education and information to people facing numerous financial challenges, we do not provide one-on-one counseling or advice on investing, debt consolidation, and debt management, or offer advice to individual consumers regarding their special circumstances.

How We Help

NEFE reaches out to all Americans who want to learn how to improve their financial well-being by providing them with information and resources, such as this website, to reach their goals.

This website was designed to help you:

• Get quick tips on budgeting, reducing debt, setting financial goals, and much more
• Find a wealth of information to help you with all of life's financial challenges whether you are starting your first job or getting ready to retire
• Locate information on a broad range of financial topics contributed by many organizations throughout the U.S.
