Every year the Foundation presents approximately 40 awards to the nation's top public school educators, most notably, the $25,000 NEA Member Benefits Award for Teaching Excellence.

The Washington, DC event attracts nearly 900 leaders from public education, business, philanthropy, and government, who gather to pay tribute to public education and its supporters.
