One Stop Solution

The National Education Foundation (NEF) believes that QZAB is a very flexible funding program, and when used properly, it can make a significant difference in the lives of the students of the disadvantaged schools. Thus, NEF’s QZAB mission is to help as many school districts as possible to use QZAB to improve the performance of their students and teachers.

Most school districts experience difficulty in issuing QZABs because of two major reasons:

1. Lack of familiarity with the rather new mechanism of QZAB.
2. Difficulty in finding a qualified 10% private business partner.

To overcome the above problems and to help school districts to issue QZABs with ease and minimum effort and delay, NEF has created a one stop solution.

Once the school district requests NEF assistance in issuing the QZAB, NEF send a team of QZAB experts (a Qzab specialist, qualified matching grant donation specialist, qualified financial advisor and a qualified Bond Issuer) to the school district to help the business manager with the QZAB application, 10% match and the QZAB issue by a “Qualified Issuer” (bank, insurance company etc.).
