The National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) is a Denver-based, nonprofit foundation dedicated to helping Americans acquire the information and gain the skills necessary to take control of their financial lives. The grants program seeks innovative research and research-based development projects that can make a profound contribution to the field of financial literacy. Inquiries from disciplines in fields as diverse as behavior, economics, neuroscience, sociology, psychology, marketing, finance, education, change theory, decision sciences, and others are encouraged.
