CMEF provides life-changing educational opportunities for students of Teach For America corps members The Corps Member Education Foundation is 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit established in 2004 to empower educators to provide life-changing experiences in and outside the classroom. The Corps Member Education Foundation is supporting current Teach For America corps members with the resources and fundraising necessary to go above and beyond to ensure more students growing up today in our nation's lowest income communities have the educational opportunities they deserve. In addition, we are building connections between alumni corps members and their placement regions to effect fundamental changes needed to ensure that all children have an equal chance in life.
