NFEC Awards FamilyMint the Best Practices in Financial Education Honor

The NFEC recently honored FamilyMint with the annual Best Practices in Financial Education Award. FamilyMint won this award in the Kids Financial Education Software Category. Annually the National Financial Educators Council (NFEC) presents its Best Practices in Financial Education Awards to recognize individuals and organizations that provide personal finance products or services aligned with the NFEC mission, educational philosophy, sustainable business model, and dedication to raising awareness about the financial literacy movement. This year’s award was presented to the FamilyMint kids financial education software, recognizing FamilyMint’s contribution in the Software Category.

Organizations that are chosen to receive the Best Practices Award share common mission statements with the National Financial Educators Council objective to create a world where people are informed and able to make qualified financial decisions that improve their lives while benefiting communities around the world.

“The FamilyMint software program stood out among others because it provides hands-on learning and opens up communication between parents and kids about money matters,” states Vince Shorb, CMO of the NFEC. “We also liked that the FamilyMint program was designed to facilitate collaboration between financial planners, schools, financial institutions, and others who want to improve the financial well-being of their communities.”

“FamilyMint is highly honored to receive the Best Practices in Financial Education Award from the National Financial Educators Council,” said Bob Masterson, FamilyMint President. According to a survey by The Hartford Financial Services Group, nearly 3 out of every 4 parents acknowledge being their children’s primary source of personal finance education, and almost half admit to needing more guidance on how best to teach their children the skills to become successful, financially responsible adults. FamilyMint exists to help parents play this vital role within their family structures.

FamilyMint has been recognized for offering the easiest way to provide a financial literacy for kids system that shows them how to manage their money and achieve their goals.

The NFEC is a social enterprise organization whose stated mission is to improve financial capability among the world’s citizens.
