Become a CEF Member
The Committee for Education Funding (CEF) comprises of 80-plus organizations dedicated to the goal of achieving adequate federal financial support for our nation’s schools and students at all levels. CEF is a voluntary, nonprofit, and nonpartisan coalition. CEF members listed in our Membership Guide (PDF) include educational associations, institutions, agencies, and organizations whose interests range from preschool to postgraduate education in both public and private systems.
The purpose of CEF is to provide members of the general public and government officials with the information enabling them to better assess the need for funding of federal education programs. CEF takes positions on federal education funding issues that represent a consensus of its membership and then communicates those positions to federal government officials and Members of Congress.
