  Are You Looking To Fill A Vacancy?

  The National Association of Education Foundations connects job seekers and those hiring through our Career Center. 

  Members can post a career placement free of charge; non-member will pay a nominal fee. Payments must be received in full before a job is posted to the Career Center. 

  First, register and pay for the career placement online. Then, send the career placement to info@educationfoundations.org in an email or as an email attachment. Include relevant job information and how applicants should apply [web address, email, etc]. An attached file must be an original file [IE: Microsoft Word]. The career placement will remain online for 30-days, but can be renewed for an additional 30-days at the same rate.

  Join the 2026 CEFL Cohort!

  
  

  The Certificate in Education Foundation Leadership, CEFL, is the professional standard and is the only certification program designed exclusively for education foundation leaders and executives. This program provides foundation leaders with specific skills and knowledge required to lead and manage an education foundation, regardless of size.

  The CEFL Certification Program is offered online in an asynchronous format that is self-paced with weekly deadlines. Optional weekly check-ins over Zoom provide a space to connect in real time with instructors and peers from across the country.

  Each course is four weeks; the certificate can be completed in about six months. There is a "Flex" week between each course. This allows students the flexibility to work ahead, catch up on any missed work, or just enjoy some time off.

  This six-course program is ideal for education foundation leaders, foundation staff, and board members who are passionate about the advancement of the industry, their foundation, and their professional growth.

  Prerequisite

  You must be a member in good standing with the NAEF and maintain active membership to retain certification.
