Nactt Foundation

What Nactt Foundation does

The NACTT Foundation is a charitable nonprofit organization (Tax ID 20-3880087) and subsidiary of the National Association of Chapter 13 Trustees (NACTT), headquartered at 1 Windsor Cove, Suite 305, Columbia, South Carolina. Its core mission is to provide financial assistance and educational support to the approximately 200 Chapter 13 standing trustees who administer bankruptcy cases across the 50 states and Puerto Rico, along with their staff and families. The Foundation's flagship offering is a Financial Assistance Program providing up to $7,500 in relief grants to trustees and families harmed by natural disasters, terrorist acts, fire, or mass casualties, paired with an Emergency Response Disaster Recovery Plan (including EAP Checklist Cards, Emergency Action Kit materials, and Resource Lists) to help trustee offices prepare for evacuations and recovery. There is no proprietary technology product; the Foundation operates a coordination and grant-administration function backed by board governance (President Huon Le, Secretary Jack Gooding, Treasurer Sylvia Ford Brown, Executive Director Courtney LC Waldrup) and nine Platinum corporate sponsors.

The Foundation sits within a broader NACTT ecosystem whose primary commercial activity is event-driven: annual membership dues from more than 1,000 members (trustees, bankruptcy judges, debtor and creditor attorneys, insolvency CPAs), tiered registration fees for the 60th/61st/62nd Annual Seminars ($400 for bankruptcy judges up to $1,700 for non-members, plus $2,500 exhibitor fees), and Platinum sponsor underwriting. Member benefits include the NACTT Quarterly publication, reduced seminar rates, and access to sub-brands such as BFine.org (public financial literacy), STACS (computer security for trustees), NACTT Academy, and the Trustees' Education Network. The Foundation itself does not appear to monetize directly; rather, it is funded by and operates within the parent association's nonprofit structure.

The Foundation is not a venture-backed technology company and has no funding rounds, M&A history, patents, AI capabilities, or external investor base. Its strategic trajectory is best understood as stewardship of a mature, category-defining professional association that has operated continuously since 1965, with growth expressed through event rotation across major US markets and incremental expansion of educational sub-brands rather than through headcount or revenue scaling.

Direct peers

• American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI): Multi-disciplinary insolvency organization serving attorneys, judges, trustees, turnaround professionals, and academics. Comparable through bankruptcy-focused education, annual conferences, and publications, though broader in scope than NACTT's Chapter 13 focus.
• National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges (NCBJ): Membership organization for bankruptcy judges holding educational conferences and providing professional development. Overlaps with NACTT's judicial membership segment and operates a similar annual conference model with comparable fee structures.
• National Association of Bankruptcy Trustees (NABT): Sister national association serving Chapter 7 trustees, with parallel mission of professional education, advocacy, and member services for bankruptcy trustees. Directly comparable in structure, membership model, and event-driven revenue approach, but focused on the Chapter 7 segment.
• National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA): Member organization for attorneys representing consumer debtors in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases. Comparable professional association model serving the same bankruptcy practitioner community with educational programs and advocacy.

Broad incumbents

• INSOL International: Worldwide federation of insolvency practitioner associations with 40+ member organizations. Comparable as an umbrella for national insolvency associations, though it operates at the meta-level rather than serving individual practitioners directly.
• Turnaround Management Association (TMA): Global community for corporate restructuring and turnaround professionals, including insolvency practitioners. Operates an analogous member-based education and certification model but focuses on commercial rather than consumer bankruptcy.
• Commercial Law League of America (CLLA): National organization for attorneys and other professionals engaged in commercial law, including bankruptcy and creditors' rights. Provides educational programs and networking for an overlapping professional base.
• Association of Insolvency & Restructuring Advisors (AIRA): National organization for financial advisors, attorneys, and consultants serving bankruptcy and restructuring clients. Shares the membership-association and education-delivery model but addresses a different insolvency constituency.

Others

• American College of Bankruptcy: Honorary association of bankruptcy judges, trustees, and attorneys recognized for distinguished service. Functions as a fellowship body rather than active service provider, but draws members from the same bankruptcy professional community served by NACTT.
• Epiq Bankruptcy-Trustee Solutions: Major technology and services vendor to Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 trustees, providing case management and disbursement software. Functions as a platinum sponsor of NACTT and sits at the intersection of bankruptcy technology infrastructure and trustee operations.
