NGPF Curriculum is FREE, and always will be.

The life skills that personal finance education provides are too important to leave to budgetary whims or fickle funding sources.

For this reason, NGPF is funded through an endowment created by the co-founder and receives no funding from any outside sources, including financial institutions. All NGPF curriculum, professional development, and advocacy support is FREE and always will be.
