NEFE Observes Financial Capability Month

April is recognized as National Financial Capability Month. NEFE has celebrated Financial Capability Month for over 25 years. It gained traction in 2004 as Financial Literacy Month, which evolved from Youth Financial Literacy Day, introduced by us. The name transitioned to Financial Capability Month in 2021 to emphasize the importance of opportunity when using financial knowledge. This celebratory month highlights the value of high-quality financial education in improving Americans' financial capability.
