Today is #GivingTuesday and we invite you to join TIRF in advancing its mission!

Over the years, your support has helped us achieve incredible milestones, and once again this year, we’re excited to offer a special opportunity to double your impact. With thanks to our Board members, TIRF’s Board of Trustees will be matching gifts from the public, dollar for dollar, up to $17,225 total, from today through December 31, 2024. Click here to make a donation today!

Your contribution will support programs like the TIRF Kathleen M. Bailey Teacher-Research Award, the TIRF Doctoral Dissertations Grants program, the TIRF James E. Alatis Prize for Research in Language Policy and Planning in Educational Contexts, and our publication and resource activities. Collectively, these programs promote research in our field and provide opportunities for individuals around the world to engage with critical issues we grapple with in language education.

Additionally, your donation will bolster our research mentoring efforts. The TIRF Bailey Award involves pairing experienced scholars in our field with awardees. By shining a light on the importance of mentorship, TIRF fosters a culture of guidance and collaboration, ensuring the continued growth and development of emerging scholars in the field. 

These programs—and the countless educators and learners they benefit—are made possible by supporters like you. This #GivingTuesday, your matched donation can go twice as far in empowering researchers, celebrating mentors, and advancing English language education across the globe. 

Imagine the lives you’ll help change: the young learners gaining the tools to succeed in a globalized world, the educators gaining access to research-informed practices, and the scholars whose innovative studies are shaping the future of language education. 

Please consider donating to TIRF today to support our efforts. Every dollar you give helps TIRF extend its reach and deepen its impact. Click here to make your generosity go twice as far. 

Thank you for your continued support and for making a difference in the lives of educators and learners worldwide.
