Support Our Ticktockers
Launched in 2022, the Linda Martens Ticktocker Inspire Innovation Fund provides grants each year to Chapter Ticktocker Councils for projects and/or programs to creatively meet community needs, engage Ticktockers, and increase local impact. “Innovation” sits at the core of this grant program and Ticktocker Councils are encouraged to dream big!

Thanks to the generosity of hundreds of individual donors—and a special gift from the husband of Linda Martens in honor of her unwavering dedication, love, and service to NCL—this meaningful tribute ensures her legacy will continue to uplift and inspire future generations of Ticktockers.
Consider a donation today to keep Ticktockers inspired and the Fund strong! This is an investment in the future of philanthropy!
