Our Structure
Near East Foundation (NEF) functions as a family of entities, which includes NEF UK (London), NEF Belgium (Brussels), and the US-based NEF (Syracuse, NY and Washington, D.C.). While legally and financially independent, the three entities function as a single organization, sharing staff and resources that advance NEF’s shared mission and strategy while mobilizing a global community of supporters.
NEF employs team members worldwide and has country offices in Armenia, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Mali, Morocco, South Sudan and Sudan.
