NATCA CHARITABLE FOUNDATION: HOW TO DONATE WITH YOUR PAYCHECK Attendees at Communicating For Safety (NCF) last month were very generous with their charitable donations to the NATCA Charitable Foundation (NCF). A total of $27,000 was raised. In addition, donations made through payroll deductions were increased by over $10,000 per year. Activities included a poker tournament ($2,950), a silent auction, and a live auction that raised $6,695. We invite you to consider starting a regular payroll deduction donation – or upping your existing deduction, using this form. Our goal is to make NCF a million-dollar charity!
