As we approach the holiday season, it’s a perfect time to pause and reflect on the impact our collective efforts made over the past year. At the National Court Reporters Foundation (NCRF), we are deeply grateful for the support and commitment of our generous member donors and supporters. Your donations have allowed us to drive forward important initiatives in the form of needed assistance, grants, scholarships, and educational opportunities.
This year NCRF has been actively supporting our members and communities through several projects, including numerous applications to our Natural Disaster Relief Fund. With your contributions, we’ve been able to provide essential aid to members affected by unforeseen natural events, helping them rebuild and regain stability for their families and in their homes during challenging hurricane devastations. Who said lightning can’t strike twice?
We also want to highlight #GivingTuesday on December 3 — a global day dedicated to giving back. We hope you will consider making NCRF part of your holiday giving plans. Your generosity directly impacts our ability to support members in need, fund scholarships, and promote the value of court reporting and captioning as essential professions. Donate online or text the keyword guardians to 41444.
Please check out our recent work, which is included in this Angels Quarterly. We do appreciate your support no matter how great or small. Your support is valued by all of us. Visit our Foundation fundraisers page.
Thank you for your continued dedication to NCRF. Together we are making a great difference. Wishing you and yours a wonderful, safe, and meaningful holiday season! Stay well, too.
Wishing you all the best for the season and the new year,
R. Douglas Friend
