What is a 403(b) and why does it exist? If you’ve ever asked you were probably told ‘it’s the nonprofit version of a 401(k)’ and that’s true more or less. The 403(b) was indeed created by Congress 1958 specifically for nonprofit organizations. It is the grandparent of the 401(k). 403(b) plans are fine if set up correctly, but there are many bad ones with lousy investments and high fees sold to trusting nonprofits by consultants and brokers that are not fiduciary financial advisors.
