Looking Ahead to 2025 this Giving Tuesday: Strengthening NCDD and the Heartbeat of Connection

Today is Giving Tuesday, a global celebration of generosity and community care. As we reflect on the importance of connection and collaboration, the National Coalition for Dialogue & Deliberation (NCDD) is excited to share our vision for 2025. This moment provides the perfect opportunity to join us in supporting the work that strengthens communities and empowers individuals to navigate challenges together.

Since 2002, NCDD has served as a hub, resource clearinghouse, and facilitative leader for the dialogue and deliberation community. Together with our extraordinary members, we have supported innovative approaches to building understanding and collaboration across the globe. Your support today helps us continue this legacy. In a time of intense political divides and seemingly unsolvable global problems, bringing people together to discuss values, issues, and solutions in depth is more needed than ever.
