The Building Sustainable Financial Education Partnerships and Funding course offers a practical, logically sequenced pathway for financial educators to forge partnerships and acquire funding for financial education programs. Delivering financial education with maximum impact requires more than effective teaching skills and content knowledge. Educators must position themselves as trusted consultants capable to align their services with the objectives of the organizations and institutions that sponsor such programs. This course provides a structured approach to attract partners, conduct initiatives professionally, and build high-impact financial education campaigns that last.

The primary focus of all the lessons is to help educators establish a reliable process that organizational clients and funding agencies can trust. You will learn a consultative approach to identifying realistic funding opportunities and the five core service areas organizations expect. You will discover how documentation of program results can be leveraged into practical tools that support ongoing partnerships and funding. Further lessons cover typical funding models for financial education; how funding institutions influence program design; and how educators structure pricing to reflect the full scope of services offered. Trusted professionals also know how to communicate consistently and manage program infrastructure. Finally, the course shows how financial educators demonstrate value to create future opportunities.

At course completion, you will have an individualized business plan that emphasizes applying what you learned to identify partnership opportunities, target organizations, and design programs that align with financial education funding.
