CFS is a research center that conducts top notch financial research examining the role of products, policies, and advice in helping households deal with personal financial issues. From this research, we develop evidence-based strategies to promote financial security. By sharing these strategies with policymakers and financial practitioners, we seek to strengthen the financial well-being for individuals at all stages of life.
Our work revolves around four main areas:

CFS works with a range of national organizations to research financial issues impacting today’s society.

In addition to conducting cutting-edge research, CFS also works with organizations providing consulting services on the implementation of their own projects.

CFS disseminates research and program findings through multiple ways, including webinars, a listserv, events, publications, newsletters, as well as trainings and education sessions.
