Massachusetts Communities Receive Free Financial Education Resources

Thanks to the generosity of Ellis Cropper, official founding member of the Massachusetts Financial Educators Council (MFEC), all communities around the state are receiving a broad range of complimentary financial education resources.

Cropper is a Retired Army Major with Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC®) and Certification in Long-Term Care (CLTC®) credentials who has worked as a Life Insurance Agent and Registered Representative for New York Life since 2018. Chosen as the founding member of the MFEC’s Advisory Board in 2023, he now leads initiatives to bring financial literacy education and resources across Massachusetts.

Ellis Cropper’s Rich Background

Originally from Louisiana, Ellis Cropper possesses a BS in Biology with concentrations in Nuclear Medicine Technology from Worcester State University and is currently working toward his MBA at Nichols College in Dudley, MA. He spent 34 years in the U.S. Army, including 22 years of active duty and Assistant Professorships of Military Science at Widener and Villanova Universities. He now calls the community of Worcester, MA home.

Cropper’s professional efforts are dedicated to helping individuals and business owners create, build, and preserve wealth. Recently he has branched into the financial wellness space by teaching financial education in Worcester elementary, middle, and high schools, with future plans to bring resources and training to all age groups through his collaborations with the MFEC, community organizations, and corporations around Massachusetts.

Bringing Top-quality Financial Education Resources to Massachusetts

Courtesy of Ellis Cropper’s championship, financial education resources are being made available to individuals, schools, and community groups all across MA. These resources were developed by the MFEC’s parent organization, the National Financial Educators Council – an Accredited Provider through IACET and a Certified B Corporation.

School beneficiaries receive independent, educational-quality materials suited for all age groups, PK through college. Community organizations have two benefactory opportunities: 1) a complimentary workshop package available to all groups; or 2) a full financial education package option for organizations that meet qualification guidelines. Individual Massachusetts residents can take advantage of the free data and financial literacy tests being made available through Cropper’s sponsorship.
