In-Kind Donations
Research is an essential skill learned and developed by participating in policy debate. For current debaters, much of that research is done online. For some students, however, having a laptop at a tournament is a burdening cost. In addition to monetary contributions, you can help alleviate this burden through in-kind donations. If you have older laptops that you or your office are retiring, consider donating them to NUDL so that they may find new life and purpose at the hands of our talented debaters.
We also accept donations of office supplies such as paper, pens, notebooks, binders, and other essentials that enable us to focus more resources directly on our students and programs.
For any questions or other considerations, please do not hesitate to contact our Executive Director, Starr Rhee, srhee@nashvilledebate.org
