The Educational Foundation of America (EFA)

The Educational Foundation of America (EFA) is a family foundation that envisions a society in which every person has a meaningful voice in an inclusive democracy, with unrestricted access to full reproductive freedom, and lives in creative, thriving communities on a healthy, regenerative planet.

The Educational Foundation of America advances progressive change through support for creative initiatives working toward sustainability, justice, and equity.

The Educational Foundation of America believes in strategic grantmaking and impact investing that:

• collaborate with communities and causes seeking structural change

• support innovative ideas and talented leaders

• take risks to achieve results

• invest in people, places, and organizations underserved by philanthropy

EFA advocates for progressive change in our society. We support groups of passionate people in America working across five areas of change: to leverage culture and art to build community; to remove carbon from the atmosphere; to improve our democratic systems; to provide access to nutritious food; and to ensure equitable access to reproductive health care.
