The NCME Mission Fund was established to provide a means for donors to express their tangible support for NCME’s mission to advance the science and practice of measurement in education, and to provide individuals and organizations with financial support for projects, research, and travel that address this mission directly. This year the Mission Fund provided grants for several special initiatives designed to promote a broader understanding of high quality assessment practices and appropriate test use among diverse groups of assessment stakeholders. Funded project summaries can be found here.
Looking to the future, with the goal of funding projects such as these, and others yet to be designed, we are pleased to announce that the NCME Mission Fund has launched the “Honor a Mentor” fundraising program!
The Honor a Mentor program is an opportunity for NCME members to acknowledge those who have played pivotal roles in our academic and professional development -- while supporting projects designed to promote public engagement in measurement topics, and conference attendance for junior scholars. All contributions made in honor of our mentors will directly support NCME Mission Fund projects.
To share a tribute in honor of your mentor, and make a donation of any size, please visit https://www.ncme.org/about/honoramentor.
Sincerely,
The NCME Mission Fund Committee
