With Amazon Smile NYDI gets a donation for every dollar you spend!

What it means to give monthly:


If you’re able to donate monthly to NYDI—even $5 or $10 each month—this consistent revenue helps us budget and plan for the season ahead, market DI in more areas of the state, and offer more scholarships to students and teams in need of financial assistance. It’s like a monthly subscription that provides annual happiness and growth for New York students who may not find a supportive community or outlet for their talents otherwise.

Whether it’s monthly or one time, any amount you can contribute will help us grow a future generation of New Yorkers who are:

  • Global citizens
  • Critical thinkers and team players
  • Equipped to solve our world’s most complex challenges
