National Nonprofit Day was established in 2017 to honor nonprofit organizations and inspire people to work in or help these groups. So on August 17, individuals and businesses should make the extra effort to donate their time and resources to nonprofit organizations. Promotional products companies can also use top products and ideas for National Nonprofit Day to support nonprofit events and fundraisers.
There are approximately 1.97 million registered nonprofit organizations in the U.S. that support a variety of causes. Therefore, most people should find a nonprofit group that aligns with their views and they can support. While financial donations are always welcome, individuals find other ways to show support. Promote your favorite nonprofits on social media, encourage your friends to donate, and volunteer to help out at charity events such as walkathons or food drives.
Nonprofit organizations should thank their donors and volunteers for their hard work and philanthropy. They can post the top donors' name online and on social media platforms. Give certificates to the volunteer with the most events or to volunteers who reach a milestone year in their service.
Certain businesses already work closely with nonprofit organizations and along with generous financial support, will co-sponsor fundraising events. Businesses also could promote these events on their company website and community websites. Encourage their employees to also volunteer their time at the organization and donate what they can. After the fundraising event is over, business executives should send a thank-you card and a small gift (ie. gift card, food basket) to the nonprofit as a token of appreciation. Nonprofits also benefit from donated office equipment and electronic devices from local businesses.
If companies are not tied to a particular nonprofit, they should reconsider as promoting nonprofits also gives the companies added publicity. Management might ask their employees to vote on a nonprofit group they can support. Retailers might also give a percentage of their sales on National Nonprofit Day to a local charity.
Promotional products companies provide branded items to nonprofits to be used at their events or in gift bags. Gift bag products include hats, pens, tote bags, keychains, USB sticks, memo pads, hand sanitizers and lip balms. If the nonprofit organization is hosting a volunteer or donor appreciation banquet, promotional products companies may offer thank-you plaques and paperweights as gifts.
Nonprofit groups also need wristbands, lanyards, water bottles, fanny packs and wireless microphones for their events. Habitat For Humanity's t-shirt is a great example of a branded t-shirt that can be worn at the nonprofit's office or at a fundraiser.
