NAFIS represents school districts across the country that serve students living on or near federally owned land—including military installations, Indian trust and restricted lands, national parks, and other tax-exempt federal properties. These districts rely on Impact Aid to support the education of their students.

As a NAFIS member, you are part of a powerful national coalition working to protect and strengthen Impact Aid, amplify your district’s voice in Washington, D.C., and ensure all federally connected students receive a high-quality education.
