About the foundation
The Federal Education Association (FEA) is a professional organization representing educators within the U.S. federal education system. Its Read Across America Grant program, aligned with the National Education Association's annual literacy initiative, provides modest funding to support reading-themed events and projects in schools serving military-connected and federal dependents. The grant reflects FEA's broader mission to enhance educational opportunities for students in federal schools, with a focus on grassroots, educator-led initiatives that foster a love of reading. Unlike arts residencies or literary prizes, this program is rooted in K-12 educational practice, emphasizing direct classroom impact and community engagement over artistic production.
