Government employees
from procurement officers and finance directors to new hires entering public service.
At Public Funds Academy, we believe that effective public fund management is one of the most important responsibilities in our democracy. As a nonprofit educational organization, our mission is to empower public servants, nonprofit professionals, and small businesses with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to manage public funds responsibly, ethically, and in full compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.
We understand that navigating the complexities of procurement, grants, audit preparation, and regulatory compliance can be overwhelming — especially without proper guidance. That’s why we built the Public Funds Academy: to provide structured, accessible, and practical learning experiences for those who serve the public interest.
As a nonprofit, we are not driven by profit margins — we are driven by impact. Our programs are developed with the public good in mind. We reinvest all resources into improving course content, expanding access to training, and ensuring that our learners have the latest tools to succeed in their roles

Mismanagement of public funds — whether due to lack of training, weak internal controls, or simple mistakes — can result in serious consequences: audits, loss of funding, civil penalties, and erosion of public trust
These aren’t just organizational issues. They affect real people — jobs are lost, programs are cut, and communities suffer
We believe that education is prevention. Our mission is to close knowledge gaps before they become compliance failures. Through clear, actionable training grounded in ethics and real-world application, we help professionals protect public funds — and the people those funds serve
As a nonprofit, we’re committed to accessibility. We create courses, workshops, and tools that empower public servants and grant managers — not just those with big budgets. Because accountability should be within reach for everyone.
