National Nonprofit Day on Monday, August 17, is a perfect time to show appreciation for the impact nonprofits have on communities around the world.
Here are five things you can do to celebrate and show support:
• Commit to supporting your favorite nonprofits: Becoming a monthly donor can help ensure your nonprofits can provide their critical services consistently.
• Volunteer your time: Nonprofits often rely on volunteers to carry out important tasks that support their mission. Consider offering your skills and expertise regularly!
• Boost awareness: Using social media, partnering with local news, or simply sharing amongst friends can help boost awareness of their work and bring new supporters into the fold.
• Attend or host an event: Many nonprofits host events on or around National Nonprofit Day and GivingTuesday to raise funds and awareness. Join in and show support!
• Thank the people who make it happen: Handwritten letters go a long way. Take a minute to send a note to the nonprofits you support and tell them why you’re a donor or volunteer.
Nonprofits play a crucial role in our society. Let’s show them our appreciation today (and really, every other day).
