The goal of the New Jersey
Coalition for Financial Education is to improve the personal
financial literacy of New Jersey's citizens by promoting the
teaching of personal finance to people of all ages. The
Coalition believes that all citizens of New Jersey must have
the financial literacy necessary to make informed financial
decisions.
The Coalition meets every other
month in a Central New Jersey location and consists of about
100 representatives of government agencies, schools,
businesses, and non-profit organizations that provide
financial education and related services. The Coalition is
a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt organization operated by an elected
board of directors and conducts an annual audit of its
finances.
From 2002
through 2007, the NJ Coalition for Financial Education has
received $135,200 in external grant funding and
successfully completed five funded financial education
projects, with five more projects ongoing.
Members of
the New Jersey Coalition for Financial Education include the
