Financial Literacy Efforts

Several CFA Minnesota Society members and industry professionals recently launched a financial literacy education program called MNFEI (Minnesota Financial Empowerment Initiative) in partnership with Financial Beginnings, a non-profit organization that teaches individuals how to play an active role in their financial well-being. The group’s mission is to help those in the Minnesota community who seek to improve financial knowledge and economic security and to raise awareness of the importance of financial education for all Minnesotans. MNFEI (pronounced MIN-FAY) provides a platform for passionate volunteers to deliver no-cost, unbiased, and open-sourced financial education programs to those in Minnesota communities and schools, with a special focus on those populations in greatest need.

Target Audience

Underserved communities with the Minnesota region including diverse lower-income communities, immigrants, and underserved populations.
