Chartered by Congress in 1990, The National Environmental Education & Training Foundation (NEETF) is a private non-profit organization dedicated to advancing environmental education in its many forms. Since it was established, the Foundation has become a leader in the development of new policies, grant-making approaches, and direct programming to advance environmental literacy in America. We link environmental education (EE) to many of society's core goals such as: better health, improved education, environmentally sound and profitable business, and volunteerism in local communities. Each of our programs also focuses on the needs of under-resourced people in American society. The Foundation is overseen by a combination of leaders in education, business, and the non-governmental and governmental sectors. We work in partnership with many leading organizations in the field.
