The NRF Foundation operates as the nonprofit arm of the National Retail Federation, focusing on building skills and providing resources to support retail careers. Based in Washington, D.C., it serves as a bridge between individuals seeking opportunities and the retail industry, which it views as a solid place to start and to grow. As a 501(c)(3) organization, it aims to help people improve their lives and strengthen their communities through access to industry knowledge and connections. It runs programs and partnerships that advance workforce readiness and career preparation for retail workers and students. For example, it launched Customer Conflict De-escalation training for frontline staff in 2024 and collaborates with education and industry partners to expand access to resources and insights. In early 2026, it announced a partnership with Campingedu to broaden its impact.
