Save the Date Lift Your Voices in Support of NATS Annual Day of Giving on November 18

By Jen Jimenez, NATS Development Director

We invite you to join us for the 2025 Lift Your Voices Day of Giving on Tuesday, November 18, 2025 in support of NATS Circle of Friends Annual Fund. Gifts to Circle of Friends Annual Fund are unrestricted, supporting annual budgetary needs, providing member and student scholarships, embracing diversity and inclusion efforts, and nurturing collaboration through mentoring and networking opportunities. We have chosen a stand-alone date, rather than the National Day of Giving date, in the hopes of providing an optimal opportunity for NATS members, students, family, friends, and patrons of vocal music to participate.

Our exciting Day of Giving will begin at midnight on November 18 with the launch of NATS interactive Day of Giving webpage! On this site, you will not only have the opportunity to easily make your gift, but share a call-to-action across your social media channels, issue giving challenges to colleagues, students, family, and friends, participate in region/chapter competitions to win NATS merchandise, and create video testimonials –all in real time while viewing our live goal meter!

Please check your inboxes over the next few months for additional information from your Regional Development Liaisons and me regarding the 2025 Lift Your Voices Day of Giving. If you have questions or would like more information on how you can become an advocate for our Lift Your Voices Day of Giving, please contact me at jen@nats.org or (904) 586-3395.

Forever grateful for NATS giving me my first realistic experience of what it means to be an artist. Preparing to perform/audition in the unexpected circumstances of new locations, for new adjudicators, competing against new groups of talent; all things I use regularly as a working actor.

Thank you for all that NATS continuous to do to support the teachers and to encourage and challenge our students.
