The NSA Foundation is the charitable arm of NSA, and serves members and the public through: Financial help for NSA members and their families who are facing health or natural disaster emergencies; Grants to NSA members who need help with their dues or meeting registration fees; Scholarships for full-time junior, senior or graduate students attending an accredited college or university, who have a burning desire to become professional speakers; Funding for research related to the speaking profession; and Grants to help charitable organizations communicate through technology. Thanks to the generous contributions of NSA speakers, many worthy people have received financial support when they need it most. Contributions come from three basic sources: Major gifts donated to establish various funds; Memorial and other contributions from individual NSA members and chapters; and Fundraising events such as seminars, receptions and parties at NSA conventions and workshops.  View the 2010-2011 NSA Foundation Annual Report View the 2009-2010 NSA Foundation Annual Report View the 2008-2009 NSA Foundation Annual Report View the 2007-2008 NSA Foundation Annual Report Foundation Board of Trustees: Nido R.
