The Institute for Financial Education is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing financial literacy by bringing educational resources directly to the public. We are committed to enriching our local communities through financial awareness.
We provide informational workshops to individuals, companies, and organizations on a variety of financial topics. The workshop content provides valuable financial information to empower people to grow in their understanding of their personal finances. Our workshops are taught by local volunteers with an expertise in financial topics.
