2021 NAGT Donor Challenge

NAGT is working hard to make sure the Rendezvous is an event that educators can attend regardless of financial resources. To this end, a group of "Friends of NAGT" has stepped up to initiate a challenge for Rendezvous past and present participants. These Friends of NAGT have pledged $1000 for stipends to attend the 2022 Rendezvous that can only be 'unlocked' if 50 individuals contribute to the NAGT Professional Development Fund.

So far we are 10% of the way towards meeting our goal! Give now through your NAGT Membership account and select the Professional Development Fund. All contributions received during the Rendezvous will count towards the challenge.
