We are members, educators, employees and friends of the National Education Association who want to help our colleagues in this time of crisis. We are concerned about the welfare of association members, their students, and entire school communities in many southeastern states as they begin to recover from the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene.
All donations we receive are distributed to affected NEA state affiliates for them to allocate to their members in need. NEA Member Benefits will match these donations up to $50,000 and pay any fees imposed by GoFundMe, so 100% of the money raised will go directly to supporting NEA members and their families. Funds will be withdrawn by the NEA Member Benefits Relief Fund and sent to the impacted State Affiliates.
If you would prefer to donate by check:
Please make checks payable to:
