History
First Command Educational Foundation (FCEF) was founded in 1983 as a private foundation supporting First Command Financial Services (FCFS) to provide financial education and scholarships to military members and their families. Over time, FCEF has grown and evolved to adapt to evolving financial challenges facing military service members. Since 2006, First Command Educational Foundation has been recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity in the state of Texas and has operated independently of FCFS and its subsidiaries. First Command Educational Foundation is governed by our own board of directors, chief executive officer and president. Our commitment to “educate those who serve” through financial education training, literature, tools, and scholarships remains unwavering. Our educational programs provide individuals and families tools and knowledge to be fiscally responsible and financially stable.

“I enjoyed this course and wish I had this available when I first enlisted.”
“The Retirement course, in particular, had a lot of great resources- the before, during, and after budget sheet as well as the handbook.”
“I believe that this course would be extremely valuable to our new service members and any service member that has not completed a financial education course”

Steve’s knowledge is vast, and he was able to break it down, so it was easy to comprehend and ensured we understood it before moving on to the next topic. I would recommend this presentation to any fire department that has civil service employees.
