About the
   ICI Education Foundation

The ICI Education Foundation (ICIEF) is a non-profit-organization formed in 1989 to advance the financial well-being of individuals by strategically partnering with organizations and participating in initiatives that increase financial literacy and promote the importance of saving and investing.

Core objectives are:

  • Advance the financial well-being of individuals.
  • Increase financial literacy.
  • Promote the importance of saving and investing.

ICIEF is the educational affiliate of the Investment Company Institute, the leading association whose mission is to strengthen the foundation of the asset management industry for the ultimate benefit of the long-term individual investor.

“Financial literacy is a critical factor in creating financial wellness. You need knowledge to make the best financial decisions, particularly when it comes to saving and investing for your future. And yet, many of us have only minimal education—if any—in this area. At ICIEF, we are partnering with great organizations that are focused on closing the financial education gaps especially for women and people from underrepresented communities.”
