Foundation for New Education Initiatives, Inc.

The Foundation for New Education Initiatives, Inc. (FNEI) was founded in 2008 by the School Board of Miami-Dade County. Its mission is to enhance student achievement and community engagement in support of the Parent Academy and other educational initiatives of Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Through events such as the Superintendent's 5K, the For the Love of Learning Gala, and with foundation grant support and private donations, we are able to fund initiatives such as The Parent Academy, Student Scholarships, the Cultural Passport program, Mini-Grants to teachers, and Computer Labs in our schools. Additionally, we provide critical support to our most vulnerable students, homeless youth, and to needy families, by providing them with short-term assistance, food, clothing, and school supplies to keep them stabilized and able to achieve their educational aspirations. Every year, over 150,000 students directly benefit from support provided by the Foundation for New Education Initiatives.
