Sponsorship

ACT-SO is a NAACP program that receives state-wide and local support from the generosity of people like you who value our collective (volunteer) work.  You may donate either as an individual or as an affiliate with schools, community organizations, churches, foundations, and/or private corporations.

The following organizations donated to ACT-SO New Jersey within the past few years:

• Johnson & Johnson
• The American Heart Association
• Bristol Myers Squibb

ACT-SO New Jersey will use your donations exclusively to underwrite youth programs including paying the expenses needed to take participating students to the national competition.  All of our staffers are strictly volunteers which ensures that every last dollar goes toward hard costs.  Monetary donors to ACT-SO may belong to organizations who can recruit individuals in the ACT-SO process as coaches, judges, and other volunteers.  Sponsors may provide much-needed growth opportunities which include internships, field trips, and even jobs.

Help us to celebrate the accomplishments of our local students’ hard work and passion for their talents by contributing financially. Your contribution will allow the dreams of the young people in our program to come alive. It will also show your commitment to the community and philanthropic efforts as well. Each day we hear and read negative news stories involving our youth. Today, help us to make a difference and encourage the positive endeavors of these youths, with the help of people like you, as we encourage them to be young scholars.

Donations can be made out to New Jersey ACT-SO and mailed to:
