Keep Families Safe Online - NCF Cyber Spring Appeal

Dear Member, Donor, Friend ~ 

Every time you use your smartphone, tablet, or computer, you’re sharing personal information — often without realizing it. But how many of us really know how to protect our data?

At the National Cryptologic Foundation (NCF), we believe that cybersecurity knowledge is essential for everyone — not just the tech-savvy. That's why we've created two powerful resources:

Outsmart Cyberthreats – A guide for students, filled with engaging content and activities to build foundational cyber skills. Learn more.

How to Be Cyber Safe + Savvy – A newly updated resource that provides adults with helpful information about how to manage passwords, secure devices, avoid scams, and protect online privacy. This new edition includes the latest info on AI and real-world cyber threats. Learn More

These booklets are free to access digitally — but we need your help to reprint and distribute thousands of physical copies to classrooms, libraries, community centers, and families across the country.

Will you make a gift today to help fund this urgent reprint? Every dollar helps. Contributors of $100 ore more will be recognized on our website (if desired), and when you give $1,000 or more, your name will also be printed in the new edition of our booklets. See specific details on the Spring Appeal Donation page by clicking the button below.

We are deeply grateful to our development partners, Start Engineering, Gula Tech Adventures, and The Robert & Mary M. Looker Family Trust for supporting this important initiative. With your help, we can extend this reach even further.

Thank you for helping us protect and educate families in an ever-evolving digital world.

With gratitude,
