Nghiem, NGS’ Executive Director, is also an NGS alumni (Class of 2007)

As a member of this community, I have always believed in the power of giving back. Today, I’m reaching out to invite you to join me in making a profound difference for under-resourced students in Marin. Contributing to a young scholar’s education is not just an investment in their future—it’s an investment in our shared community and the world at large.

The need for support has never been greater, and I remain deeply committed to helping NGS continue its life-changing work. NGS has consistently demonstrated its ability to transform the lives of its students. Your donation will directly fund a proven cause with a remarkable track record of student outcomes.

NGS doesn’t just provide a top-tier education after school, on the weekends, and over the summer; it also offers critical family services that create lasting positive change for the entire household. I think of Nghiem, our talented Executive Director, and see him as an NGS student in 2007—someone whose life was forever uplifted by the opportunities provided by this incredible program. Look at the impact he’s making today, and imagine how your support can help even more students follow in his footsteps.

This season, as we reflect on what’s important, I hope you’ll consider making a donation to NGS. On this final day of match week, let’s make every contribution count. I’m matching the donations made today, maximizing the power of your generosity. 

Together, we can help create a brighter future for the next generation of scholars in Marin. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to making a difference.

Sincerely,

Mike Shippey,
Board of Directors, NGS
