Through its Humanitarian Outreach Project for Education Fund, Missouri NEA assists members, students, and schools.

The HOPE Fund is designed to provide relief to victims of natural disasters; relief to the poor, distressed or underprivileged; and research and implementation of projects that address critical needs in education.
