NONPROFIT DAY- AUGUST 17

National Nonprofit Day is commemorated every August 17 to honor the invaluable contributions of charitable organizations. These groups tirelessly serve communities, address critical needs, and inspire positive change. Discover ways to volunteer your time, donate to a cause you care about, or simply spread awareness about their crucial work.For National Nonprofit Day, the focus shifts from commercial deals to opportunities for support and appreciation. Many organizations, like the National Council of Nonprofits, will highlight their impact and call for donations or volunteers. Corporate partners such as Fidelity Charitable and Vanguard Charitable often promote giving campaigns or matching programs. Look for local businesses partnering with charities, offering ’round-up at checkout’ options, or sponsoring community events. Brands like Patagonia and TOMS, known for their social impact models, may feature their philanthropic initiatives. Service providers like Salesforce.org and Blackbaud, which support nonprofits with technology, might offer special resources or webinars. We will update this page with confirmed live opportunities as August 17 approaches.

At Lumbility, we’re proud of our commitment to delivering essential services through our Adult Services (Employment Services & Enrichment Services) and our Kidsteps Birth to Three Program.This day is not only about recognizing our amazing staff and supporters. It is a reminder of the importance of advocacy. Nonprofits remain essential in our communities, yet many face challenges. It’s crucial that we continue to raise our voices and remind Congress and policymakers that nonprofits are not just helpful; they are necessary.
