Sponsor the Mission
Sponsorship is a flexible way to support the NSF through a one-time contribution. We welcome sponsorships that directly support the programs and people at the heart of our mission — whether that means sponsoring a student to attend an NSF meeting, supporting the Youth Security Forum, or helping bring a program to life.
Your contribution helps expand access to national security education and creates meaningful opportunities for young people and our community. Every sponsorship, big or small, moves our mission forward — funding the conversations, mentorship, and programs that prepare the next generation to lead.
NSF Programs

Monthly Forums
Throughout the year, NSF hosts hybrid forums featuring expert speakers on the security issues shaping our world. Your membership and donations help make these programs possible, keeping expert voices accessible to our community. Additionally, you can sponsor a student to attend an NSF forum and help ensure every young mind who wants a seat at the table gets one.
Youth Security Forum (YSF)
Each spring, NSF brings together students from Washoe County School District high schools for a day of spirited, civil discussion on today’s toughest national security questions. YSF is where the next generation of leaders learn to think critically, debate respectfully, and engage with the issues that will define their future.


Commentary & Video Library
Between programs, NSF publishes commentary and videos on current events, keeping our community informed year-round, not just at events. If you can’t make it to a forum, the NSF’s video library lets you revisit past programs and expert discussions anytime, so you never miss the conversation.
