Early Giving is Now Open! North Texas Giving Day (NTGD) is an annual online giving event sponsored by the Communities Foundation of Texas. Donations from this fundraiser significantly help fund our free tutoring program where e ach student is assigned an experienced classroom teacher and given private, in-home tutoring sessions throughout the year. These teachers help bridge gaps in learning and provide long-term assistance throughout the student's academic journey to ensure college and career readiness. The donations received during NTGD also help fund our Special Education Advocacy Program . This program supports parents by helping them get the services and accommodations their children need at school for learning disabilities or special needs. Parents are assigned a personal advocate who works with the parent to plan for the ARD meeting, consults with the school and other stakeholders and attends the ARD meeting. Click to Give!

Virtual homework help for elementary students. Homework Heroes Homework Heroes is a virtual event scheduled upon request by schools and other youth organizations. The event can accommodate up to 50 students per one hour session. The end of a six weeks period when students are working hard to finish incomplete and missing assignments before report cards are sent home, is a great time to schedule a Homework Heroes event. Each student meets one-on-one for 60 minutes with a community volunteer who assists them in working on homework assignments. Homework Heroes are not tutors or teachers, and do not typically teach or explain academic concepts to students. They provide support and accountability as the student works through homework, much like a parent or older sibling would. Interested in hosting a Homework Heroes event for your students?

We build a firm foundation to ensure college readiness, offer families tools to help their children academically, and reward outstanding educators. Our Initiatives: College Bound With our College Bound program we begin to build a firm academic foundation and ensure college readiness as early as 3rd grade through classes, workshops, videos, private educational coaching, and reduction of Summer Learning Loss through our summer enrichment program, S.P.A.R.K . Beginning in 9th grade we work to encourage a culture of college attendance through mentoring and visits to colleges. Our high school students also receive coaching through the application process to help with college selection, volunteer hours, interviewing and more. Once accepted into a college or university our mentors work closely with students to ensure deadlines are met and they have all necessary information and resources to make it to that first day of school. Classroom Champions At Noggin we value outstanding teachers. Through our Classroom Champions program we recognize and reward these teachers to encourage them to continue doing what they love. We also provide resources and funds to equip their classrooms with the tools they need to be creative and effective.

MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS ACTION WAIVER : Any claim, other than a claim by Sponsor, that is not resolved informally must be resolved in accordance with the below arbitration provisions. Unless prohibited by federal law, each purchaser of a Raffle ticket (any such individual, “Purchaser”), including, without limitation, any winner of a Raffle, agrees to arbitrate any and all claims and disputes relating in any way to such purchase or the selection of a winner or delivery or awarding of the Prize (“Arbitration Claims”), except for Arbitration Claims concerning the validity, scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision, through BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. This Arbitration Agreement involves interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (“FAA”), and not by state law. In any Arbitration Claim to be resolved by arbitration, neither of Purchaser or Sponsor will be able to have a court or jury trial or participate in a class action or class arbitration. Other rights that Purchaser and Sponsor would have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including the right to appeal. Purchaser WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY SIMILAR PROCEEDING. The arbitrator(s) may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties. Arbitrations shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to the applicable AAA rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated except to the extent modified by these rules. If AAA is unable or unwilling to arbitrate a dispute, then the dispute may be referred to any other arbitration organization or arbitrator the parties both agree upon in writing or that is appointed pursuant to section 5 of the FAA. The arbitration shall take place in Dallas, Texas. In any claim by Purchaser, the arbitrator shall be authorized to award a monetary amount no greater than the actual amount of the prize to which Purchaser is entitled, if any, pursuant to these rules or applicable law, and no other award. The arbitrator’s authority is limited to Purchaser and Sponsor alone, except as otherwise specifically stated herein. No arbitration decision will have any preclusive effect as to non-parties. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding. The parties agree that this arbitration provision extends to any other parties involved in any Arbitration Claims, including, but not limited to, the Released Parties. This arbitration provision shall take precedence over the rules of the arbitration organization or arbitrator in the event of any conflict. Sponsor will be responsible for paying all arbitration fees other than the amount of filing fees Purchaser would have incurred in state or federal court in Texas, whichever is less. Sponsor may exercise any lawful rights to seek provisional remedies or self-help, without waiving the right to arbitrate by doing so. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the foregoing class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is determined to be invalid or unenforceable with respect to any particular matter, then this entire arbitration provision shall be void with respect to such matter. If any portion of this arbitration provision other than the class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this arbitration provision. Prior to initiating an arbitration proceeding under this arbitration provision, Purchaser shall give Sponsor written notice of the Arbitration Claim (a “Claim Notice”) and a reasonable opportunity, not less than thirty (30) days, to resolve the Arbitration Claim. Any Claim Notice to Sponsor shall be sent by mail to Noggin Educational Foundation, 1106 N. Highway 360, Ste 209, Grand Prairie, TX 75050. Any Claim Notice must (a) identify Purchaser by name, address, email address, and telephone number; (b) explain the nature of the Arbitration Claim and the relief demanded; and (c) be submitted only on behalf of Purchaser, and not on behalf of any other party. Purchaser must reasonably cooperate in providing any information about the Arbitration Claim that Sponsor reasonably requests and must give Sponsor a reasonable opportunity to respond to the demand for relief. The provisions of this section, MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS ACTION WAIVER shall not apply to cla ims by Sponsor. admin@nogginfoundation.org
