Northwestern University Dance Marathon (NUDM) is one of the largest student-run philanthropies in the nation. Every year, thousands of dancers, students, and alumni come together to raise funds and awareness for organizations making a meaningful impact in our community and beyond. Through a year-long fundraising campaign culminating in a 15-hour dance marathon, NUDM has raised millions of dollars for partner organizations in our 52 year history!

​

As an NUDM beneficiary, your organization would:

• Receive financial support from our year-long fundraising efforts

• Gain visibility among the Northwestern community and our extensive alumni network

• Have opportunities to share your mission and connect directly with students throughout the year

• Be featured at our signature 15-hour event, attended by hundreds of participants

​

We are looking for organizations whose missions align with NUDM's values of service, compassion, and community impact. The application process will help us learn more about your organization's work, needs, and how a partnership with NUDM could further your goals.

The application above is for our first-round. In this round, we request that you fill out the google form that is linked above, along with emailing a (maximum) one-page letter of intent about your organization to this email (exec@nudm.org).
