National NonProfit Day
National NonProfit Day
📅 August 17 – National Nonprofit Day 💚🌍
Today, we celebrate the power of nonprofits, the heart and hands of social change. Founded by Sherita J. Herling, this day honors the countless organizations working tirelessly to uplift communities, protect rights, and build a better future.
Nonprofits are where passion meets purpose. They fill critical gaps, advocate for justice, and create opportunities where none existed. And in the Black community, nonprofits and grassroots orgs are often the first responders to social, economic, and cultural challenges providing hope, resources, and a voice for those too often overlooked.
🖤 At Support Black Charities, our mission is to make sure these Black-led, Black-serving, and Black-focused organizations are seen, supported, and sustained. Our vetted Online Directory spans 160+ organizations in 18 countries each one making an impact in areas like:
✨ Education & youth empowerment
✨ Health & mental wellness
✨ Arts & culture
✨ Economic equity & food security
✨ Gender equality & justice
Today, we invite YOU to:
✅ Find an org that matches your values, your passions, your hobbies, your cause.
✅ Support them through donations, volunteering, partnerships, or simply amplifying their work on Social media.😉
✅ Show love to the people behind the mission, the leaders, staff, and volunteers who keep hope alive every day.
