Overview

The NSA Foundation is the charitable arm of NSA. The Foundation serves members and the public through:

• Financial help for NSA members and their families who are facing health or natural disaster emergencies;
• Grants to NSA members who need help with their dues or meeting registration fees;
• Scholarships for speech/communications students;
• Provide funding for research related to the speaking profession; and
• Grants to help charitable organizations communicate through technology.

Thanks to the generous contributions of NSA speakers like you, many worthy people have received financial support when they need it most.

Contributions come from three basic sources:

1. Major gifts donated to establish various funds;
2. Memorial and other contributions from individual NSA members and chapters; and
3. Fundraising events such as seminars, receptions and parties at NSA conventions and workshops.
