National Nonprofit Day 2021

Category:

On August 17th, National Nonprofit Day (NND) recognizes the goals and positive impacts nonprofits have on communities and the world.

Somewhere a volunteer reads to school children. At the same time, a patient receives steady medication. A lawyer provides legal services for low-income individuals. A lost soul’s life is remembered with dignity thanks to a nonprofit funeral home. A first-time homebuyer moves into his own home OR BETTERING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THOSE AFFECTED BY PARKINSON'S. NND reminds us that each of these scenes is possible because of the nonprofit sector and the work performed by capable men, women, and organizations.

Through nonprofits, awareness, research, and aid reach the people who need it most. Nonprofits also produce tremendous benefits to their surrounding communities and the broader world.

For example, following the recent U.S. recession in 2012, the nonprofit sector provided 5.4% of the nation’s entire GDP (gross domestic product), or $887.3 billion. Non-profits continuously employing nurses, web developers, lawyers, computer engineers, and more (sources: John Hopkins and Tactical Philanthropy Advisors reports).

HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalNonprofitDay
