About EFI.

EFI is a nonprofit organization working to expand economic understanding where it matters most. By making economic fundamentals accessible and practical, we help individuals, educators, and communities better understand the ideas that shape opportunity, prosperity, and their futures.

Understanding Economics. Expanding Freedom.

Why EFI is needed.

In many of the regions we serve, access to clear, unbiased economic education remains limited—leaving individuals, educators, and institutions without the tools needed to navigate a complex economic world.

EFI works through a global network of partners to expand access to clear, practical economic education. By adapting high-quality educational resources and training educators and professionals, EFI provides practical tools that help people understand and apply economic ideas in their daily lives.

Our focus: EFI primarily works in emerging economies outside the European Union, where economic change is creating both opportunities and challenges for individuals and communities.
