NEEF 2021 Impact
Chartered by Congress to build effective public-private partnerships, NEEF is harnessing the power of collaboration make the environment more accessible, relevant, related, and connected to the daily lives of ALL Americans.
We're Here to Make a Difference
NEEF capitalizes on its funding from the National Environmental Education Act of 1990.
Restoration & Resilience
NEEF established the Restoration & Resilience Fund as a rapid response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The fund distributed resources and mobilized volunteers to public lands sites throughout the country.
The reductions in staff, volunteers, and resources, left land managers and volunteer organizations ill-equipped to keep up with increased human presence in our parks, forests, and waterways.

Greening STEM
NEEF’s Greening STEM model engages students at high need schools in hands-on environmental investigations in their communities making STEM relevant and connected to students’ daily lives.
Students from Central High School take their Advanced Placement Environmental Science class outside to make the textbooks come alive.
89% of the schools served by Greening STEM grants receive federal Title I funds
Children’s Environmental Health Series
NEEF's Children’s Environmental Health Series focused on the impact of environmental factors on children’s health and well-being. The 3-day event engaged medical and public health professionals in discussions that explored prominent issues affecting marginalized people and presented evidence-based methods for integrating best practices.
"As a maternal and infant community health nurse, this information is critically important to my work and the families I serve. I would like to see more education and training in this area of practice."

NEEF & iHeart Radio Team Up
NEEF & iHeart partnered to create a series of Public Service Announcements and a website dedicated to sustainability actions. The iHeartEarth campaign launched on Earth Day 2020 and has been running since.
