WHAT WE’VE ACCOMPLISHED

TOGETHER

More than 12,000 no-interest, emergency loans to help make ends meet during

personal tragedies like illness, death of a loved one, or a house fire.

Nearly 10,000 disaster relief grants for wildfires, tornadoes, floods, and

other natural disasters.

Over 10,000 merit-based scholarships to federal public servants, their spouses,

children, and grandchildren.

In partnership with federal agencies, provided childcare subsidies to over 32,000 low-income federal families, so they can have peace of

mind and a safe place for their children while they serve the American public.

*This program has been administered by our wholly owned subsidiary, FEEA Childcare Services, Inc., since 2008. Learn more at www.feeachildcareservices.com.

In 2018, the Federal Employee Education & Assistance Fund celebrated its 32nd anniversary. FEEA is the only independent 501c3 charitable organization supporting federal civil servants from every department and agency all across the U.S. We are the charity for federal employees and by federal employees. Over these 32 years we have served more than 50,000 families. Please visit our website at feea.org to learn more about who we are, what we do, and how you can join us.

In 2018 we served almost 500 families through scholarship, emergency hardship, and disaster programs. Our small business subsidiary, FEEA Childcare Services Inc., served another 600 federal families, in partnership with twenty federal agencies, by providing childcare subsidies to low-income federal families. Together our two entities reached over 1,000 federal families in every state, US territory, and some posted overseas. Inside you can read more about what we accomplished and some of the stories of the federal employees we helped.

As 2018 came to a close, FEEA also piloted its new #FEDLIfeHacks program, which provides practical and adaptable knowledge and strategies to help feds improve their daily lives. We also began our response to those families affected by the December 2018-January 2019 Government Shutdown and will share more about how our programs came to the aid of those most in need in our 2019 annual report.

I’m continually moved by the FEEA community: those who bring their personal best to their federal service every day, even when met with personal hardship, and those individuals and institutions that come together to support them in their time of need. Given our small staff, additional thanks to the hundreds of volunteers who served FEEA this year and helped extend our reach.

We’re working hard to keep our donors, partners, beneficiaries and friends up-to- date on our work. If you haven’t already, please sign up to our receive our newsletter via our website and follow us on Facebook and Twitter both @fedshelpingfeds.

There are a lot of families who need our help. With your support, we can be there for them.

REMEMBERINGTHOSE WE LOSTin Kenya and Tanzania

On August 7, 1998, almost simultaneously, bombs exploded at U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killing 224 people. More than 5,000 were wounded. This year marked the twentieth anniversary of these horrific attacks.

On the heels of these tragedies, FEEA’s Diplomatic Survivor Fund provided college scholarships to the children who survived their American federal employee parents killed in these attacks.

With support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and a number of individual donors, FEEA’s Diplomatic Survivor Fund has and continues to provide support to almost 25 students who lost a parent during terrorist attacks overseas.

Jacob* is a hardworking Department of Agriculture employee whose mother, Sharon, suffered multiple strokes in 2018. While out of work navigating his mother’s care under the Family and Medical Leave Act, his own bills began to pile up. FEEA was there to support Jacob with a no-interest, no-fee loan so he could cover his mortgage and get back on his feet.

Hardships can strike any family. And when they do, many families are left with scary financial choices like taking on a high interest credit card or payday loan debt, or missing rent or mortgage payments and risking eviction or foreclosure. And with close to a million federal employees earning less than $50,000 a year, hardships like illness, the death of a family

member, or a home fire can really derail a fed. That’s where FEEA comes in. We offer no-interest, no-fee, confidential loans to feds, which are paid back via payroll allotment. In 2018, FEEA helped almost 200 federal families with emergency loans. We never want to see the lack of one month’s rent lead a family toward bankruptcy.

THIS IS MAXINE

DISASTER RELIEF

Maxine is a federal civilian with the U.S. Navy. This year, her Panama City, Florida, home was devastated during Hurricane Michael. She had over $40,000 worth of damage after the storm’s sustained high winds and pelting rains. FEEA was there to assist Maxine with a grant to help offset the cost of repairs as part of our disaster relief program.

Natural disasters strike each and every year all across the United States. Often close to 100 natural disasters are declared each year in response to floods, hurricanes, winter storms, wildfires, droughts, and tornadoes. 2018 was an especially difficult year with so many victims of Hurricanes

Florence and Michael on the U.S. mainland, and Tropical Cyclones Gita and Yutu hitting U.S. territories. FEEA provides grants to federal families whose homes had extensive damage due to natural disasters. Since 1986, FEEA has provided disaster aid to over 9,000 families.

Meet Tina. Tina is a law student at the Stetson University College of Law. She is also a former employee of the Department of Homeland Security and is currently an employee of the U.S. Courts. In addition to her studies and full-time job, she is active in the American Legion and, before leaving D.C., provided legal services to D.C. residents in housing crises. She hopes to continue assisting Veterans in Florida in similar housing crises. After Tina was awarded her scholarship, she confided in us that she was a breast cancer survivor, who at 49 years old finished her Bachelor of Science degree and was now embarking on law school with plans to be a federal attorney in the future. Tina is one of our merit-based scholars. She is part of our 2018 cohort of over 200 of the best and brightest and was selected from nearly 3,000 applicants for her outstanding academic achievement and community engagement. This year our winners hail from all 50 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, and overseas postings. The majority are children of federal employees who serve in close to 100 federal agencies and departments. Others are grandchildren of retired federal employees, and, like Tina, federal employees themselves.

INVESTING IN HIGHER EDUCATION

MAKING SAFE, QUALITY CHILDCARE AFFORDABLEThe cost of childcare often represents a significant portion of an employee’s take-home pay. This is especially true for those with lower incomes. Beginning in 2001, FEEA, and later its wholly-owned small business subsidiary, FEEA Childcare Services, Inc., began partnering with agencies across the US government to design and implement a childcare subsidy program for lower income federal employees. This Congressionally-authorized program puts quality childcare in families’ financial grasp.

“Now I can finally afford to put my child into a licensed daycare center.”

Our partners in 2018 included*:• Centers for Disease Control • Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency • Environmental Protection Agency• Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board • Health Resources and Services Administration • Housing and Urban Development• IRS Office of Chief Counsel • National Institutes of Health• National Labor Relations Board • Nuclear Regulatory Commission• National Science Foundation • Office of Personnel Management • Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation• Pretrial Services Agency • Securities and Exchange Commission• U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service • U.S. Department of Agriculture Research, Education and Economics • U.S. Department of State

For the 6th year in a row, FEEA launched Public Service

Recognition Week with a special event. This year our annual

charity walk and run was held at National Harbor in MD, with virtual participants in 21 other states. The annual health and wellness event raised nearly $65,000 to benefit federal families through FEEA’s

programs.
