Today, we celebrate the nonprofits that strengthen our communities, change lives, and show up every day for the people who need us most.
But we also recognize the very real challenges ahead. Nonprofits are facing significant funding reductions, bringing tighter budgets, difficult decisions, and unfortunate changes—all while we work to protect the services our communities depend on.
At Sylvia’s Place, we understand the struggle. We understand the pressure of making every dollar count while continuing to provide the highest quality support possible. And we know we are not alone.
For domestic violence services in Michigan, a $25 million funding reduction threatens critical resources for survivors seeking safety, support, and a path forward.
This is where our community matters.
If nonprofits matter to you, now is the time to show it. 💜
Donate when you can.
Volunteer your time.
Attend and support fundraising events.
Share our missions and stories.
Advocate for sustainable funding.
Ask what your local nonprofits need—and help where you can.
Not everyone can give financially, but everyone can do something.
To our nonprofit partners: we see you, we stand with you, and we honor the work you continue to do despite the challenges.
And to our community: please don't wait until services disappear to realize how much they matter.
Support the organizations doing the work now—because the people who rely on them cannot afford to wait.
💜 This National Nonprofit Day, celebrate us by standing beside us. We need you.
