About
Founded in 1982, FCNL Education Fund is a non-governmental organisation based in Washington, United States working on democracy & civil society, peace & conflict, environment & climate.
The FCNL Education Fund is a Quaker non-profit based in Washington, D.C. It builds a more peaceful, just and sustainable world through civic education, research, training and nonpartisan policy advocacy grounded in Quaker principles. It analyses federal domestic and foreign policy proposals that affect people's lives and relate to the concerns of the Religious Society of Friends, and it trains young people and mobilises a national network of Quakers to engage with members of Congress. The Fund is funded by individual donors, foundation grants and its endowment, and it operates several buildings on Capitol Hill that host training and worship. It works alongside the Friends Committee on National Legislation and Friends Place on Capitol Hill.
