    About

    A core value of the National Speech & Debate Association is service.

    As a community dedicated to empowering students through speech and debate, we want to support new programs and underserved schools, as well as connect potential supporters to programs impacted by natural disasters and other hardships.
     
    Please note, in cases of direct support from other schools, the NSDA will help make initial connections to potential supporters, but does not serve as a pass through for funds or items. If you have any questions, please contact us at info@speechanddebate.org.

    Keith West Memorial Fund

    In order to ensure more students have access to speech and debate, the Keith West Memorial School Grant will provide a $5,000 grant to one school each year that shows strong potential but significant lack of financial resources. This fall, one school will receive $5,000 and two schools will receive $2,500. Apply by September 30.
