K-12: The Foundation designed and developed an online resource to complement the National Endowment for Financial Education® (NEFE) High School Financial Planning Program®. The Web portal, called the NEFE High School Campus, includes a variety of financial planning educational resources for high school students and teachers. InCharge® Education Foundation funded development of the High School Campus program. For students, this program teaches money and business in a way that is fun and easy to understand.
