Financial Planning Association
https://www.financialplanningassociation.org/
International Association for Financial Planning (IAFP) was founded in 1969 as a financial planning industry organization. Institute of Certified Financial Planner (ICFP) was founded in 1973 to establish the financial planning profession, and to maintain and promote the CFP® certification. On January 1, 2000, the two organizations had merged and the current Financial Planning Association® (FPA®) was established.
FPA is the largest membership organization for CFP® professionals in the U.S. and also includes members who support the financial planning process such as educators, financial services professionals, students and more. Working in alliance with academic leaders, legislative and regulatory bodies, financial services firms and consumer interest organizations, FPA helps connect all in its membership through a variety of unique and compelling ways. FPA members adhere to the highest standards of professional competence, ethical conduct and clear, complete disclosure to those they serve.

NEFE (United States)
National Endowment for Financial Education
The National Endowment for Financial Education® (NEFE®) is the leading private nonprofit national foundation. In 1992, NEFE evolved from the College for Financial Planning®, a Denver-based nonprofit that served as the nation’s first financial-planning educational institution. The College helped define the concept of financial planning and established the CFP® certification in 1972. As the College grew, diversified, and advanced its interaction with the public, its trustees and management recognized a critical need for ongoing financial educational efforts that could provide reliable, impartial financial information to consumers, particularly the underserved. To meet that need, the trustees created the National Endowment in 1997.
Grounded in the belief that regardless of background or income level, financially informed individuals are better able to take control of their circumstances, improve their quality of life, and ensure a more stable future for themselves and their families, NEFE’s mission is to inspire educated financial decision making for individuals and families through every stage of life.
