About NCEF

Mission: To empower consumers to achieve positive financial outcomes by supporting fee-only financial advisors in providing objective financial guidance on a pro-bono basis.

Vision: Changing lives through pro-bono financial advice.

NCEF fulfills its Mission with the following PROGRAMS:

• Money Smart Week —National Champion since 2018 advising consumers.
