The NAPFA Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is committed to turning Americans into confident financial decision makers.

The NAPFA Foundation directly supports NAPFA’s strategic driver, advocacy, by helping to drive the initiative of increasing accessibility of Fee-Only financial planning resources and services to a broader population.

Mission: Transforming lives by expanding access to Fee-Only financial planning

Vision: Changing lives through pro-bono financial advice.

The NAPFA Foundation fulfills its Mission with the following programs:

Building Homes for Heroes — Exclusive CFP® partner advising disabled veterans. This program has been directly supported through generous grants from the Foundation for Financial Planning (FFP) since 2016.
Advisers Give Back— Partnering with Advisers Give Back by connecting consumers with a pro bono NAPFA advisor.
College Affordability Project — Helping families understand the costs of college and connecting families with tools to save money on the cost of college.
Future Program Development — Possible programs to support young adults, elderly, disabled, women and families with terminal illness.

NAPFA members can give back via the Foundation. Our impact is great when we share our skills pro-bono with people who otherwise would not have access to our expertise.
