Madison Giles from our Ticktocker Advisory Council describes our core program and family of national philanthropy opportunities, all growing more robust every year. Discover the full impact of our programs in action and the change they ignite at a local and national level.
NATIONAL PHILANTHROPY PROGRAM PARTNERS
This partner is invested Alzheimer’s care, advocacy, and research. We offer support through their Walk to End Alzheimer’s signature event and participate in their Gathering Voices social platform.
Their focus is on volunteer support of military, veterans, and first responders. Our “Sleep Tight” program was officially adopted by them. Members create greeting cards and pillowcases with messages of gratitude for our military. Members also made care packages for Ukraine support.
In 1925, they were our very first philanthropy partner! Our members participate as Blood Donor Ambassadors and also support their fire safety education campaign and initiative.
Core Program Partners
Mothers and their daughters (grades 7-12) participate in an enriching program that embraces pillars of philanthropy, leadership and culture. Many members continue by becoming Sustainers in Forever NCL, a national network of experienced NCL philanthropists. Following are more recent partners and firsts for our always evolving core program:
Program Firsts
More than 11,000 members in over 200 chapters participated in donating time to the Alzheimer’s Association, Operation Gratitude and American Heart Association.
The organization supports the sorority experience and women’s empowerment. They graciously donated two $1,000 scholarships for Ticktocker members.
OUR INSPIRATION
Ticktocker Inspire Innovation Fund
This is a first in our fundraising to support our youngest member’s dreams. This fund will reward chapters that have the best new program ideas. Through the generosity of a $250,000 challenge match gift, we are raising another $250,000 by 2025.
