Support CTD
Do you believe in CTD’s mission of identifying, educating and inspiring our nation’s greatest asset – children? Have you enjoyed Center for Talent Development (CTD) programs, and would you like to make the CTD experience possible for someone else? Then support CTD today!
Why Donate?
We could rattle off a list of our accomplishments to prove that Center for Talent Development is a good investment -- 25-year history of excellence, more than 500,000 families served, gifted students around the world who rave about CTD, accreditation by the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement. But what you really need to know is what's in it for you:
Giving Opportunities
There are many ways to support CTD, and every gift counts. Maybe you can add $10 toward a scholarship when applying for CTD programs. Perhaps you’d like to give $500 at year’s end, funding eight students’ participation in Northwestern University’s Midwest Academic Talent Search, paying a portion of an instructor’s salary or enabling a low-income student to take a Gifted LearningLinks enrichment course and buy supplies. Short on cash? Maybe you’d prefer to give your time as a volunteer, helping with CTD programs or administrative work.
Give time. Give money. Give by check, credit card or donation of stock. Give to a specific program or the general scholarship fund. Give once, monthly or annually. Just give. Whatever you can afford, whatever the terms – it all adds up, and your generosity impacts kids’ lives forever.
Support CTD Today!
Below, you’ll find three distinct ways in which to support CTD, and yet the possibilities for giving are limited only by your creativity and desire. We welcome any and all ideas. Contact us, and we’ll be happy to talk with you regarding gift options that suit your budget, schedule and preferences.

But what you really need to know is what's in it for you:
- Accomplishment. There are problems within our nation’s schools. Funds previously dedicated to gifted education have been reduced or eliminated. Academically talented students from every race and socioeconomic level often languish in boredom -- their talent unidentified, their potential unrealized. By giving to CTD, you're actively helping to solve these problems. What a sense of accomplishment!
- Assurance. In today's economy, you have a lot of ways to spend money and too little quality control. CTD is the only accredited center for gifted education in the country, and it is firmly rooted at Northwestern University, a top-ranked academic institution and research facility. Giving to CTD provides assurance that you are using your money wisely and contributing to an exceptional organization with a history of success and leadership in the gifted education field.
