About us.

Our Mission

The Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund (FEEA) has a mission to empower federal and postal employees and their families to achieve their educational, financial, and career goals as they serve the American people.

Our Vision

FEEA envisions a nation whose federal and postal employees have the knowledge and support they need to thrive in public service and private life.

Our History

FEEA was founded in 1986. Over our nearly forty-year history, we have supported more than 60,000 families with emergency hardship loans, disaster relief grants, scholarships, tutoring, childcare subsidies, and more all across the United States and from almost every federal department and agency.
