How to Apply/How to Help
For Teams Seeking Support
If you are an NSDA member program in need, please fill out our Needs Request Form. If your team is interested in raising money, we also encourage you to start an Edco fundraising campaign.
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.
For Supporters
If you would like to support a program in need, check out the table below and fill out our Supporter Match Form. The NSDA will work to connect you with the appropriate contact(s) for that school.
Fundraising
With Edco, our fundraising partner, you can easily set up an online fundraising page for your team and receive support in the fundraising process. Edco empowers students and teachers to raise money from family, friends, and other members of their community. NSDA members get a reduced rate when fundraising with Edco! Be sure to visit Edco’s website or email hello@ed.co for more information. Download our fundraising guide below for more helpful tips!
