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.
Connect Students to the World!
We've launched a Summer 2024 peer-to-peer fundraising campaign to support language teachers and their students.
Your contribution of any amount—including small monthly donations—helps inspire and develop tomorrow's global citizens. Please join us and share this effort with your network.
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—from small monthly gifts to legacy giving—makes a difference by supporting the professional needs of language educators and helping us communicate to the public the critical importance of language education.
We welcome gifts by check and from donor advised funds!
