National NonProfit Day
August 17
National NonProfit Day
National Nonprofit Day, founded by Sherita J. Herling, commemorates August 17, 1894, when the Tariff Act became law and gave exemptions for charitable institutions and nonprofit organizations. Today, we celebrate National Nonprofit Day by recognizing nonprofits and the impact of their world-changing work in our local communities and on a global scale.
You can show your appreciation for nonprofits by making a donation, volunteering, sparking conversations, or simply saying thank you to the people dedicating their lives to impact social change. And for those who work in the social sector, you can use National Nonprofit Day to gather your team and reflect on the experiences and sentiments that drive you to continue working towards your mission.
