2022 NGS Giving Days are Here! 1 November through 31 December 2022

We are so thankful to everyone who “answers the call” to support the great programs the National Genealogical Society provides for family historians. In Fiscal Year 2022, we raised over $56,000 to support NGS.

We greatly appreciate our members and other contributors who support NGS financially throughout the year. We particularly thank everyone who makes NGS Giving Days a success!

In September 2022 we launched our MatchMaker program to provide matching funds for this year’s NGS Giving Days. We appreciate all of our 2022 MatchMakers.
