EFPN is an award-winning nonprofit organization that offers community education events and training for financial professionals.
Founded in 2000 and based in San Francisco, California, EFPN partners with financial institutions and financial professionals throughout the United States to halt and prevent elder financial abuse. We also work directly with elders to empower them to avoid financial exploitation. You can help!
Consumers
Elder financial abuse is a crime. It involves the wrongful taking of money or property, whether through fraud, scams, predatory caretakers or family, or others. An estimated $2.6 billion is stolen annually from elders. You can learn to protect yourself and those you love.
