The NEA Foundation
The NEA Foundation is a national nonprofit and philanthropic organization based in Washington, DC. Founded by educators, our mission is to work in partnership with others to promote the absolute best in public education. We believe that the most innovative and effective policies and strategies emanate from educators engaged in authentic partnership with policymakers, students, parents, and others who are committed to educational equity, excellence, and opportunity. Through the transformative power of these partnerships, we believe we can improve both students’ and communities’ educational experiences.
Our Fellowship
Join the Global Learning Fellowship for a yearlong professional development experience that will enhance your ability to integrate global competency in your classroom and empower students to thrive in an interconnected world. This cohort-based program includes online coursework, webinars, a two-day conference, mentoring, and a 10-day international field study. Complete a capstone project that reflects your learning and serves as a resource for educators beyond the program. Applications for the 2026 cohort are open through April 7, 2025. Learn more here.
