Our Mission…
The Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund (FEEA) is the only independent, nonprofit 501c3 organization devoted solely to providing emergency financial assistance and scholarships to our dedicated civilian federal and postal public servants and their families. FEEA also has a for-profit subsidiary, FEEA Childcare Services, which administers childcare subsidy programs on behalf of a number of federal agencies.
Our Vision…
FEEA is building a community where federal pubic servants can support each other during personal and family emergencies and also invest in higher education scholarships for those most deserving. We envision an effective charitable safety net for and by federal employees and our partner organizations – protecting feds and giving them peace of mind so they can do what they do best and serve our fellow Americans.
Our History…
FEEA was founded in 1986. Over our thirty year history we have supported more than 50,000 families with emergency loans, disaster relief grants, scholarships, and childcare subsidies all across the United States and from almost every federal department and agency.
