NEFE Celebrating 30 Years! Empowering Teens Since 1984
|
In the fall of 1984 the High School Financial Planning Program� was first introduced in seven Denver schools. Over the past 30 years HSFPP has spread to all 50 states and to over 100 military bases, impacting more than 11.5 million students.
To celebrate this anniversary, HSFPP proudly presents a new 30 year logo. A non-anniversary version of the logo will begin to show up in HSFPP content this fall.
NEFE's Road to Impact
The National Endowment for Financial Education� (NEFE�) evolved from the College for Financial Planning�, a Denver-based nonprofit that served as the nation's first financial-planning educational institution. As the College grew, its trustees and management recognized a critical need for ongoing educational efforts to provide reliable, impartial financial information to consumers, particularly the underserved.
In 1984 the College took steps to address a subject rarely covered in American schools, introducing the flagship high school education program. In the first five years the program spread nationwide. During that time the College collaborated with other national partners to found the Jump$tart Coalition in 1995.
College trustees officially established NEFE in 1997. The new foundation continues the work that the College began 30 years ago, collaborating with strategic partners to develop youth-centered resources, funding in-depth financial education research, and designing new programs.
