Your gifts to the Language Connects Foundation, be they financial or as a volunteer, help us elevate the language education profession and promote the transformative power of language learning.
Individual Giving
If languages have played an important role in your life or the lives of your loved ones—or if you wish you’d had greater access to language resources—we invite you to consider making a financial gift.
Your contribution at any level makes a difference by supporting the professional needs of language educators and helping us communicate to the public the critical importance of language education.
