NATB GIVES BACK
Learn How The NATB & Our Members Support our Communities
NATB PHILANTHROPY
The membership of the National Association of Ticket Brokers is more than a group of professional ticket sellers. They are women and men with parents, children, extended families, neighbors, and members of the communities in which they live.
To reflect this, the NATB Board of Directors in 2009 created a charity arm called NATB Gives Back. The mission of NATB Gives Back is to make a positive impact in the communities which support our businesses. We endeavor to do this by providing leadership, programs, and education to the members of the NATB and by forging partnerships with charitable and community organizations.
We Will:
- Strengthen our communities through fundraising and volunteering
- Create opportunities to attend live events for individuals who would not otherwise have such opportunities.
- Increase visibility and enhance our relationships with our local communities
Currently, the NATB Gives Back Program is running the NATB Tickets For Charity Initiative that supports two outstanding organizations, both of whom help NATB Members get tickets in the hands of deserving individuals.
The NATB continues to embrace our longstanding relationship with the Ronald McDonald House, and in 2022 the NATB Tickets For Charity Initiative built an additional connection with VetTix. More information on both programs is available below.
In 2023, NATB Gives Back started the “Finals Fund,” a voluntary effort by NATB Members to make a $2,500 donation to Gives Back if a team, their “home team,” makes the finals of their respective league. Learn More about this great endeavor below.

A History Of Giving
The NATB Gives Back Committee has forged a relationship with Ronald McDonald House Charities. Over the past 14 years the committee has donated both hours of volunteerism and over 1.25 million dollars in live entertainment tickets to families staying at houses around the country. Through its main initiative, 32 for 32 Program, the NATB members have donated preseason football tickets to the 32 NFL Team cities. The NATB has been inducted onto the Ray Kroc Heritage Society Donor Wall for its philanthropic endeavors with RMHC.
Additionally, the members of the NATB support various other charities nationally including Vettix, short for Veteran Tickets Foundation, a nationwide nonprofit organization whose mission is to honor veterans and active military members.
Locally, NATB members, proudly support a variety of nonprofits; from little leagues to educational programs, animal shelters to homeless teens, and USO programs to servicing the elderly community.
