It's National Nonprofit Day, your chance to applaud those who are doing amazing things in your community.

Founded by author and speaker Sherita J. Herring in 2017, National Nonprofit Day brings attention to the importance of nonprofit organizations, and all of the vital services they provide. From community food banks and affordable housing, to legal services and education, nonprofit organizations provide an incredibly large variety of necessary help that would otherwise be unmet by corporations and governmental agencies.

There are 1.5 million nonprofit organizations in the United States, with over 64 million volunteers helping to keep these organizations running. That means that about 25% of people in the United States do some kind of volunteer work each year.

The easiest way to help a nonprofit is to make a donation to them.
