Your tax-deductible gift makes a real difference for Kansas City youth. Individual financial contributions are the backbone of the DEBATE-Kansas City, fueling tournaments and workshops for our young advocates, professional development for our teachers, and much more. Please consider becoming a monthly donor to DKC. Monthly donations help support the organization year round and demonstrate to other funding organizations that we have broad community support. If just 25 people donate $20 a month that is equivalent to us receiving a $6,000 grant. This kind of support helps DKC make debate a reality in Kansas City Schools.
