Together, we can reach a goal of $25,000 raised for NIRSA Foundation scholarships.

The NIRSA Foundation is proud to have raised $1 million to support NIRSA members and we aren’t stopping there.

Donate today and help continue the legacy of giving.


Visit the NIRSA Foundation Table at the 2013 Annual Conference

When you contribute to the Annual Giving Campaign at the 2013 Annual NIRSA Conference and Exposition, you help the NIRSA Foundation build collegiate recreation professionals with your donation.

Ways to join us in the Annual Giving Campaign

Along with traditional annual giving, the NIRSA Foundation has made it even easier to get involved. You can choose to make a single gift or plan your gift over time. Select one or select both. Everyone wins!

$20 for 20 Years Campaign

The $20 for 20 Campaign celebrates the 20th anniversary of the NIRSA Foundation. Donate $20 or more to honor two decades of accomplishments and help continue to build for the future. This is a perfect way for students and new professionals to get involved and start building on a cumulative giving approach.

“Put $100 on NIRSA” Campaign

“Put $100 on NIRSA” is a nod to the Centennial Celebration of Collegiate Recreation and the Vegas conference theme. Your donation of $100 or more will honor professionals of the past, celebrate the professionals of the present, and champion the professionals of the future. There is no better way to acknowledge the rich history of our profession than by making a donation to your NIRSA Foundation.The first 75 people to “put $100 on NIRSA” by contributing to the NIRSA Foundation’s Annual Giving Campaign will receive a limited edition t-shirt.

How to donate:

  • Smart phone: At this year’s conference, contributing to the Annual Giving Campaign is at your fingertips with the direct donation option on our NIRSA Conference App.
  • The NIRSA Foundation table at the NIRSA Annual Conference:  As in the past, the NIRSA Foundation welcomes you to stop by and make your donation at the Foundation Table (check the conference schedule for locations).
  • Online: Not able to make it to this year’s Annual Conference, but you’d still like to contribute to the Annual Giving Campaign? Great! Simply visit the NIRSA website and click the Give button on our homepage.

Your gift is tax deductible and will apply to your Cumulative Foundation Giving Levels. Additionally, you will be recognized in the NIRSA Foundation Honor Roll. No matter how you donate, you will help to provide opportunities for worthy student and professional NIRSA Members to attend a variety of professional development opportunities through the NIRSA Foundation scholarship program.

We would be delighted to visit with you at the Annual Conference’s Foundation Table and share ways to get involved in the NIRSA Foundation’s work teams and programs. Stop by the Foundation Table or speak to any Foundation Board Member at Conference. We look forward to seeing you in Vegas.
