The National Geographic Society Education Foundation was established in 1988 through an initial grant of 20 million dollars from the Society. The Education Foundation provides a permanent and expanding source of financial support for exemplary geography education programs. Our mission is to revitalize the teaching and learning of geography in the nation's K-12 classrooms. We currently award more than three million dollars in grants annually to programs nationwide. The Society continues to solicit individual and corporate contributions to help support its educational goals.
