Pay It Forward
The world as we know it is changing — The NACAS Foundation is changing along with it. Historically, most of our fundraising events were held in person. Enter COVID-19. We believe the work of the Foundation is more important now than ever before. As students return to campus, they face a whole new level of uncertainty. Will they have access to safe and clean housing? Will they be able to afford groceries and toiletries? Research shows that these financial challenges are not new, but they are certainly heightened by the pandemic.
The NACASCARES Annual Giving Campaign includes several virtual fundraising events that support the mission of the NACAS Foundation: To position auxiliary professionals, the higher education market, and students for success. Donate today to support new industry initiatives, including the Campus Care Grant, virtual education experiences, and awards & scholarships.
