Every year on August 17, we celebrate National Nonprofit Awareness Day. Today we reflect on the milestone achievements of all nonprofit organizations we’ve had the honor of working with over the years. Through their selfless work, nonprofits are helping to make our communities safer, more inclusive, while at the same time raising a voice for those who can’t do it for themselves.
Tag a nonprofit below that you think deserves some recognition for their hard work!

Juneteenth 2021. Celebrate Freedom.
From The Juneteenth Foundation:
It all started during the Civil War. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862, which led to the freedom of Black slaves. It was not until the first anniversary in 1865 that the observance of June 19 became a holiday commemorating the African American Emancipation Day.
Learn more about this federal holiday (as established by President Biden as of yesterday) by watching the video linked below or following The Juneteenth Foundation!
