The Nine Eleven Finding Answers Foundation (NEFA Foundation) is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, nonprofit, charitable organization engaged in terrorism research and analysis. It was founded after the 9/11 attacks. Its stated goal is "to help prevent future tragedies in the U.S. and abroad by exposing those responsible for planning, funding, and executing terrorist activities, with a particular emphasis on Islamic militant organizations."

The Foundation researches, analyzes, and disseminates information pertaining to past and current terrorist activities, shares certain findings with law enforcement agencies and the intelligence community, and works with other research organizations to educate the public on the threat of terrorism. It also funds extensive field research, and obtains relevant original documents (translated when necessary) and videos. Media such as UPI have, in turn, used the documents and translations provided by NEFA.

NEFA employs experienced multi-lingual investigators, researchers, analysts, and partners in a number of countries with access to a network of sources and information; M.T. Hayes is its President and CEO, David Draper is its Director of Strategic Operations, Ronald Sandee is Director of Analysis and Research, Douglas Farrah, Evan F. Kohlmann, and Claudio Franco are its Senior Investigators.

It has worked with the 9/11 victims' families, and is funded by private donations.
