HOPE Fund

Through its Humanitarian Outreach Project for Education Fund, Missouri NEA assists members, students, and schools.

The HOPE Fund is designed to provide relief to members, students, and/or public schools who are experiencing hardship and/or need educational-related supplies due to natural disasters.

Contributions

The HOPE Fund accepts charitable contributions. You may choose to designate your contribution for a special cause or in honor/memory of a loved one. Missouri NEA will send a notice of the contribution to the recipient(s) indicated on the contribution form. 

You can choose to make a one-time contribution to the HOPE Fund or set up a recurring contribution charged to your credit or debit card bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually. 

Contributions to the MNEA Charitable Fund are tax-deductible.
