The National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) is a nonprofit organization focused on enhancing financial education. It operates as an independent, centralizing voice that provides leadership, conducts research, and fosters collaboration to advance financial well-being. As one of the earliest organizations dedicated to improving the effectiveness of financial education, NEFE emphasizes action-oriented research, mobilizes intermediaries, and develops more effective approaches for researchers, educators, practitioners, and policymakers. The organization is based in Denver, Colorado, and maintains a small-to-mid-sized staff. Its work serves researchers, educators, practitioners, policymakers, and other stakeholders involved in financial education, aiming to improve how financial literacy is taught and applied. In early 2024 NEFE launched a content series intended to help journalists cover personal finance and economic issues, reflecting its role in shaping the broader discourse around financial education.
