IPF develops highly effective community engagement and educational outreach campaigns to bring our programs into local venues and classrooms.

IPF pioneered successful joint-ventures with magazine and book publishers, translating print information into entertaining video formats with numerous authors and companies, including Newsweek, Money Magazine, The Financial Times, US News & World Report, Consumer Reports and Sylvia Porter's Personal Finance.
