Partnerships

The Investor Education Fund (IEF) and the CNIB Library partnered to establish a fully accessible financial literacy program for the more than three million people with vision loss or other print disabilities across the country. IEF invested an outstanding $270,000 between 2005 and 2007 toward the production and distribution of its materials in braille, and audio formats.

These materials are essential additions to the CNIB Library collection covering topics such as the fundamentals of investments, how to protect yourself against frauds and scams, and money management for children. Prior to the development of the IEF collection, CNIB library users had little or no access to current financial information.

CNIB thanks IEF for helping us meet the financial literacy needs of the print disabled population by making financial information available to all.

The Investor Education Fund was established by the Ontario Securities Commission, the province's securities regulator, and is funded by OSC enforcement settlements.
