The 西北学生交换 programs have been hit very hard by the coronavirus situation. 我们寻求 你的支持 to help NWSE avert the full impact it 将 have on our programs. Already this year way too m任何 of our students were forced to separate from their host 家庭 and schools, having seen their exchange programs abruptly stop.

NWSE’s students and 家庭 today and tomorrow remain a close knit community – a community to which you belong – a community that, 在这一刻, 需要你! Your tax deductible donation 将 ensure that life-changing friendships across borders, international understanding, language learning and 文化交流 将 continue as we emerge from these temporary worldwide challenges.

Why we ask for your tax-deductible support:

• The suspension of international mobility has caused a significant decrease in exchange student registration and participation.
• As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, NWSE receives its entire funding through students’ participation fees.
• With participation cuts due to the coronavirus crisis, NWSE 将 lack financial resources to carry out its mission

With your tax-deductible donation we:  

• Take immediate action to retain essential NWSE staff who provide our exchange programs and excellent care for our students and 家庭.
• Provide scholarships to deserving students for their exchanges, and  help launch their future careers through international internships and related educational experiences.
• Continue to sponsor students from all over the world. Facilitate international exchanges for another 33 years for great students, 家庭, 和社区.
• Help minimize the coronavirus impact on the global foreign exchange student community.

NWSE has weathered m任何 profound global crises since its inception in 1987: from the stock market crashes, ensuing recessions and bank collapses of 1987 and 2007, 911的悲剧. Each time we were able to emerge from the storm intact and even more vibrant that before, 不寻求帮助.

For the first time since our founding 33 years ago, NWSE faces a challenge posed by this coronavirus crisis. 它不像任何其他的, caused by the precipitous drop in financial inflows NWSE needs to support our mission through the next academic year cycle.

Students’ and Parents’ exchanges have been forfeited this year; dreams have been dashed or put on hold. We need your passion and generosity – the passion and generosity of our student exchange community – to support future exchanges.

We hope to count on your tax deductible donation of 任何 amount so that future exchanges are not lost to daydreams. We cannot do this without you.

NWSE’s worldwide 筹款 goal through GoFundMe is $200,000. This goal may seem daunting. But if each NWSE Alum 捐赠s an average of only $50, we 将 达到这个目标.

We ask everyone reading our appeal to please 现在捐赠, and share this 运动 with your family, friends, and community. 捐赠再少也不嫌少. 我们赞赏 任何 amount you can 捐赠, and your sharing our 运动 with others. Your one-time or recurring donation of 任何 amount makes a huge and positive difference today – and makes tomorrow’s exchanges possible!

注意:我们启动我们的 运动 today by thanking anonymous donors for the first $5,000 of our 运动! 非常感谢! Let’s build on that momentum!  

All of us at NWSE and our future exchange students are grateful for your solidarity and generous support!

谢谢你！!
