#GivingTuesday is over, but our efforts on behalf of the NAFSA Diversity Impact Program continue. You may not have been able to give that week, but you still can support the program. The time is now. A timely year-end donation will allow more participants access and opportunities through the NAFSA Diversity Impact Program.
The NAFSA Diversity Impact Program supports professionals from tribal colleges and universities; historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs); Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs); and community colleges and associates colleges by helping them expand capacity, grow study abroad, and increase student global competencies.
NAFSAns have played critical roles in the program through either donations or mentoring. You have helped 83 participants since 2014, and we plan to continue the program in 2017. Graduates of the program better serve their students and communities, and are on a pathway to future leadership roles.
Donate now. If you gave earlier and want to add support for the Diversity Impact Program, we appreciate your additional contribution. I urge you to bring 2016 to a close with a tax-deductible gift to the Diversity Impact Program.
