What comes to mind, when you hear the word “nonprofit”? Charity, hunger, disease? People in distress?  Maybe you think of hospitals, higher education, museums, global warming?

To keep our North Carolina communities strong, we must embrace the non-profits that serve us. Through dollars to support the cause or volunteering your time, everyone can contribute to the well-being of our extraordinary state. This holiday season, consider the impact of the non-profits in your community and get involved. You may be pleasantly surprised to learn that your investment of time or dollars contributed to:

• Getting a family back on their feet after a crisis

• Educating the next generation to fill jobs in our factories and corporations

• Maintaining a “Green” environment

• Keeping the doors of a museum open to the public

• Discovering a cure for disease

Now is the time to join your neighbors in building a safe, tranquil community for North Carolina.  You can change the face of the future for yourself and your children.
