The NEA Foundation Revenue and Competitors

WHO WE ARE The NEA Foundation is a public charity founded by educators for educators to improve public education for all students. Since our beginning in 1969, the Foundation has served as a laboratory of learning, offering funding and other resources to public school educators, their schools, and districts to solve complex teaching and learning challenges. We believe that when educators unleash their own power, ideas, and voices, communities, schools, and students all benefit. OUR SUPPORTERS The NEA Foundation receives contributions from corporations, foundations, and individuals, including educators. We take seriously our commitment to the public school educators and students we serve and our stewardship of the donors who contribute to our work. We are proud that we have received Charity Navigator's highest, 4-star rating on financial health, accountability and transparency for the past eight years, a record that puts us in the top 2 percent of all rated charities. WHAT WE DO & WHY A dynamic public education system is more important than ever — students from all backgrounds rely on it to prepare themselves for college, career, and beyond. Everything the NEA Foundation does is in service to students, to provide them the excellent public education they deserve. We accomplish this through grants to improve classroom instruction, by supporting educators' professional growth, and by collaborating with groups, including unions, who share our goals. To achieve our mission, we invest in initiatives that support high-quality instruction and provide critical resources to boost student learning.
