Policy debate in Nebraska is at risk of extinction.
Join the alumni network working to save it.
Our mission is to provide high school students with opportunities for education and civic engagement through competitive interscholastic policy debate.
For years, participation in policy debate in Nebraska has fallen. Between coach retirements, budget cuts, and the COVID-19 pandemic, the activity has seen its lowest participation levels in decades.
What is the NPDF?Your tax-deductible donation will ensure that generations of Nebraska students will enjoy the academic, intellectual, and social benefits afforded by competitive high school policy debate.
Join the cause today!The foundation plans to invest over 99% of all funds raised directly into high school debate programs.
The foundation is a volunteer effort led by committed Nebraska debate alums. No funds are used to pay staff. The only costs associated with the foundation outside of direct school contributions are those necessary for the foundation’s operations, including maintenance of this website and associated email accounts, as well as membership with the Nonprofit Association of the Midlands.
