Where would the U.S. be without our nonprofit sector? We shudder to think.
We asked you why your favorite nonprofit is so vital to your community and were answered with a steady stream of moving and inspiring responses. We heard from organizations confronting poverty, incarceration, mental health issues, grief, disabilities, and illness. We heard from animal lovers, child advocates, veteran advocates, and civil rights defenders.
While the news drops one discouraging story after another, #WhyNonprofits reminded us of all the people fighting for good across the nation every day. Thank you to everyone who participated!
Our winner had the highest tally of shared, liked and retweeted posts across Facebook and Twitter. Drum roll please....
