I am proud to lead this organization at this defining moment! We have transitioned the membership of our beloved National School Foundation Association (NSFA) to this new organization giving us the framework for growth and advocacy for our association members. The NSFA organization has now become our philanthropic foundation giving us the ability to raise funds and grants without crippling our advocacy and professional development work.

At NAEF, our mission is to develop and advocate for education foundations across the United States and Canada. The words are simple but represents so much. It is the aim of NAEF to offer advocacy for our industry and professional growth via trainings, coursework, and standards that raise us all up.  The NAEF will strive to connect our members together because we all know how the intangible reward experienced in the relationships with our peers creates an even deeper value.

To this end, I want you to know that this is your association.  Associations are only as strong as their members and we need you to own and share our story, your story.
