NEFE-funded research from The New School finds that almost no one is safe from periods of lost income due to a health crisis, job loss or other life transitions in their working years; and lower-income Americans are especially vulnerable.

In its commitment to building knowledge in financial capability research, NEFE again sponsored the Cherry Blossom Financial Education Institute in April, hosted by the Global Financial Literacy Excellence Center at George Washington University.

NEFE President and CEO Ted Beck received the William E. Odom Visionary Leadership Award for his dedication to building a financially literate future for young Americans.

Michele Godfrey studied the High School Financial Planning Program (HSFPP) curriculum as a high school student in the late ‘90s. Now a financial counselor herself, Godfrey says the HSFPP sparked her lifelong interest in empowering others to take charge of their money.
