Our Mission


Financial well-being is fundamental to the foundation of a successful society. The Heartland Institute’s mission is to provide quality educational courses conveniently offered in the workplace or community settings in cities across the nation.

The Institute in Action

The Institute provides a unique, dynamic learning opportunity in the critical area of financial education. Course instruction occurs in the workplace or in privately hosted group settings. This offers employees and/or association members convenient access to education that will give them a better understanding of financial fundamentals.

Instruction is provided by instructors who have earned the CFEd® credential; they have also received further training and have been selected to become part of the institute’s Registry of instructors. The Heartland Institute provides training, support, certification and continuing education for CFE Certified Financial Educator® professionals. Through this process, we ensure that instructors are prepared to teach financial education courses using current, reliable information.
