As attendees head home from the 16th Biennial Convention, the NATCA Charitable Foundation
(NCF) wants to remind all NATCA members that they are here to support your charitable efforts!
NCF operates 365 days a year supporting local charities through its dedicated volunteers
who enable it to keep operating expenses exceptionally low — below five percent since 1998.
NCF is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation with a mission to assist charitable, educational,
scientific, and other activities that benefit the common welfare.
From 2011 to 2015, NCF has more than doubled the amount of money allocated to those in
need, from $91,000 to $200,000. NCF even reached over $1 million raised in 2012 with its
20th anniversary fundraisers.
Other recent milestones include taking the NCF Annual Backpack Drive from four backpack
programs in 2010 to 32 backpack programs nationwide this year. The program seeks to
support local schoolchildren in need with donated backpacks stuffed full of school supplies
so they are prepared and eager to succeed.
NCF has also gone from six holiday programs in 2010 to 20 in 2015. This year is shaping up
to be a great holiday season as well, with several programs throughout the country building
up support to assist local communities.
You can donate to NCF here at Convention or at home through the NATCA app! Open the app,
click on "NCF" then "Fill Out an 1187 donation." These donations are similar to Union dues
and go directly to NCF. You can also donate via the QR code included on this page.
Have a local charity drive coming up? Reach out to NCF and take your endeavors to the next
level!
