Your support is imperative

NOMA NW cannot do this alone. Our organization calls upon our Industry and Allies for financial support. Annual corporate and individual funding allows NOMA NW to operate each calendar year and commit to the ongoing professional and community advocacy work, and student outreach, on which the organization is founded. Your annual contributions help support our local BIPOC organization, allowing us to leverage our own position to amplify the voices of our most vulnerable youth and neighbors.

Help grow and strengthen NOMA NW. Become a supporting Ally by contributing at either the Firm/Organization or Individual level. Below are the ways in which you can become a Sustaining Member of NOMA NW. Your annual patronage allows our organization to continue the community, advocacy, and youth outreach work in which we are committed.

2022 - 2023 Fiscal Year

Starting this coming fiscal year (October 1, 2022), NOMA NW will be introducing a 3-year pledge option for more sustainable support.
