Why Pennsylvania Council on Financial Literacy?

Our New Entrepreneurship Program

PROMOTING

FINANCIAL LITERACY & ENTREPRENEURSHIP

           Pennsylvania Council on Financial Literacy (PennCFL). is a 501(c)3 organization and approved by  Pennsylvania's Department of Community & Economic Development as an Educational Improvement Organization.  

PennCFL sponsors financial competitions and entrepreneurial programs resulting in the participation of over 12,500 students in Pennsylvania.  Training and support were provided to hundreds of teachers.

Our mission is to provide Pennsylvania’s K-12 students with economics, personal finance, and entrepreneurship skills that elevate their standard of living, quality of life, and professional success.

We showcase exceptional talent across the state, from business, education and government.

​

Our nonprofit organization is passionate about teaching young people solid financial management skills. Pennsylvania is one of the most rural states in the country because it's largely made up of small towns and rural communities. Many families here struggle to make ends meet. Our goal is to break that pattern by instilling a firm sense of financial competency and responsibility in the next generation.

Our goal is to be the leader in K-12 financial literacy and entrepreneurship education.
