DONATE TO STOA
WHY GIVE TO STOA?
Stoa works hard to ensure that financial means are not a barrier to participation in these highly beneficial exercises in the development of future leaders. As such, we are primarily volunteer-driven and use donor support to fund the infrastructure of the Stoa organization. Stoa is a 501(c)3 nonprofit. You will receive a donation receipt for your tax-deductible contribution to Stoa.
To find out more about what Stoa is doing and what you support through your donations, check out our Annual Reports.
Giving Tuesday is December 3! We need your help.
Stoa students work diligently all season long for a coveted invitation to the National Invitational Tournament of Champions (NITOC). This national tournament features Stoa's best speakers and debaters. However, attending NITOC can be cost-prohibitive for some families, with total expenses for registration, housing, transportation, and meals as high as $600 per student.
Stoa receives many requests annually for scholarships to attend NITOC. For the past two years, we have granted scholarships to as many students as possible. However, each year, we have more requests than funds available.
This year, Stoa leadership wants to ensure that even more NITOC-qualified students in financial need can attend. We will focus all of our Giving Tuesday donations on this effort. One hundred percent of your donations will go towards Stoa’s NITOC scholarship fund, making it possible for more students and families in need to attend this life-impacting event. We need your help! You can give any time between now and the end of 2024 to count toward our Giving Tuesday campaign.
