Native Economic and Financial Education Empowerment (NEFEE)

OUR APPROACH

We engage tribal leadership and Native educators to better understand the unique financial education needs of their communities. We value understanding the lived experiences and cultures of the communities we serve to develop a tailored financial education plan.

HOW WE HELP

NEFEE partners with tribal nations, Native communities and schools to provide free financial education resources for tribal programs and classrooms focused on pre-K, K-12 and postsecondary education. NEFEE provides free training for staff and educators to develop content knowledge and skills to teach personal finance in their communities. Resources include videos, group activities, workbooks and lessons aligned to school standards, focused on personal finance concepts like:

Decision-making
Using credit
Alternative lending
Budgeting & spending
Protecting & insuring
Investing basics
Saving & savings goals
Banking basics
Career exploration
