Giving thanks for all of Idaho's many givers

The holiday season usually provides the time and inspiration for us to reflect on and appreciate the good fortune in our lives. We may donate money, food, or toys to a local charity; we may post daily expressions of gratitude on our social media accounts; we may take a moment to say a silent “thank you” for all that we have, particularly when confronted by news stories of suffering and despair.

As the executive director of the Idaho Nonprofit Center, I am lucky enough to see the broad spectrum of services Idaho’s nonprofits offer Idahoans, including those in need — both during the holidays and throughout the year. November is Nonprofit Awareness Month, a time when we recognize volunteers, celebrate philanthropy, and highlight the unique ways in which organizations are working to better our communities.
