Econiful

Empowering Economic Thinkers

Our mission is to strengthen economic education at the secondary level so that all students are able to apply economic principles in their personal, professional, and civic lives.

Free Professional Development

We offer nonpartisan programs focusing on economics, personal finance, and the ways those disciplines overlap with other subjects, including mathematics, history, and civics.

Programs are funded by the Thomas R. Brown Foundation.
