Nonprofit Corner
Our nonprofits have up to three years to spend their grant money. During that time, we work with them to make sure they are on track, and we help when we can. In the Nonprofit Corner, we keep you updated on their progress and let you know when they need volunteers or specific items. And when they extend invitations to their events, we’ll let you know about those too.
At this time of year, we like to highlight the wishlists of our Impact & Merit award winners. If you can help any of the organizations, please refer to their websites to find out how to get the items to them. Thank you for all of your help!
