Wisconsin Opens Nominations for Governor's Financial Literacy Awards: November 30 Deadline Across Three Categories
The Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) announced on November 3 that nominations are open for the Governor's Council on Financial Literacy and Capability 2026 awards, with a nomination deadline of November 30. The program is administered from Madison, the state capital in Dane County.
The awards have three categories: Individual, Organization or Business, and Legacy. Judging criteria include innovation over the past two years, a focus on financial inclusion, measurable outcomes, collaboration and the scalability of the work. Winners will be selected in December and honored at a ceremony in 2027.
David Mancl, executive director of the council, oversees the awards program. The 2025 awards honored 10 individuals and 11 organizations at a ceremony at the State Capitol.
The Governor's Council on Financial Literacy and Capability is the state's body for advancing financial education, and its annual awards recognize individuals and organizations that promote financial knowledge and capability in schools, communities and workplaces. DFI said nominations may be submitted through the department, and entries will be judged against the published criteria.
