How to get help from the NAU Rapid Response Fund

To submit a proposal for the Fund, make a written request to the NAU Vice President or dean in your area describing the urgent need, amount requested, detailed budget, and date needed.  

The VP or dean will forward your request to the NAU Foundation CEO.

NAU Foundation, P.O. Box 4094, Flagstaff, AZ 86011 or by email to Rickey.McCurry@nau.edu.

Some of NAU’s most loyal and caring donors have come together to create a challenge gift that will match dollar for dollar up to $32,000 gifts made to the NAU Rapid Response Fund, Louie’s Cupboard, and the Lumberjack Emergency Assistance Fund on Giving Day.

Thank you to our match donors for their generosity!
