Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
First Command Educational Foundation (FCEF) was established in 1983 as a private foundation to support First Command Financial Services (FCFS) in providing financial education and scholarships to military members and their families. Over the years, FCEF has expanded its mission and reach, adapting to the evolving financial challenges faced by those who serve our nation. Since 2006, FCEF has been recognized as a 501(c)(3) public charity, operating independently from FCFS while maintaining our commitment to financial readiness, education, and empowerment.
FCEF is governed by its own board of directors and led by a resolute chief executive officer and president, ensuring the integrity and independence of our operations. Our mission is simple but powerful: “To educate those who serve.” We do this by providing comprehensive financial readiness training, educational resources, tools, and scholarships to our nation’s military community and their families regardless of their location.
Through our financial education and scholarship programs, we empower individuals and families to take control of their financial futures, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to achieve fiscal responsibility and long-term stability. As we continue to grow, our commitment to serving those who serve remains at the core of everything we do.
