Want to be a true angel? Join the NCRF Angel Family

Join us and support rising court reporters and captioners. You can become a part of the NCRF Angel family by signing up with monthly ($83.34) or quarterly ($250) donations or an annual donation of $1,000. The total annual donation provides a great 2025 tax write-off and myriad benefits including a listing on the Angels poster at the NCRF Conference & Expo booth, an invitation to attend the exclusive VIP NCRF Angel Thank You Luncheon in Minneapolis this year, and the benefit of knowing that each donation helps NCRF advance its philanthropic programs and mission. Giving back matters. One example is that our Angel donations supplemented our NCRF Natural Disaster Relief awards after two back-to-back hurricanes occurred in late fall just last year.

Each Angel donor’s name is listed on the NCRA website and in the JCR magazine. Giving back to our profession matters, and this is the perfect way to help others in their career journeys.

To become an Angel, you may select the recurring donation that works best for your budget by joining online or texting the keyword NCRFAngel to 41444. Or contact Jill Parker Landsman at jlandsman@ncra.org, who can help set up your NCRF donation over the phone.

The Angels Program continues to be the most impactful component of the National Court Reporters Foundation’s annual campaign as it supports four key initiatives that are advancing the court reporting and captioning professions:
