The Nellie Mae Education Foundation is the largest philanthropy in New England that
focuses exclusively on promoting access, quality, and
effectiveness of education.
The Foundation is
currently transitioning to a long-term strategic focus. The emerging work
represents a natural evolution of previous investments and will
remain in service of the Foundation’s current mission.
More
information about our new focus – including details about
initiative areas and grant availability - will be made available
in early 2010.
The Foundation anticipates
that new grants will be made available in 2010. For more
information, please visit our
Grant
Guidelines page and sign up to be notified when
grants become available.
The
Foundation also fosters strategic partnerships, nurtures a
culture of continuous learning, takes necessary bold risks, and
continues to enhance its evidence-based approach to funding.
Pursuant to its Articles of
Organization, the Foundation operates exclusively for the
benefit of, and to promote the charitable and educational
purposes of, educational organizations, including universities,
colleges, secondary schools, elementary schools, and other
educational organizations that are described in IRC Section
501(c) (3) and that are not private foundations as described in
IRC Section 509(a). The Foundation's activities include making
grants to the public charities it supports and providing
services to those organizations.
