What a way to start the week—Monday, August 17 is National Nonprofit Day! 💜

Today is a day to recognize the nonprofits that make our communities stronger, healthier and better places to live and work.

Nonprofits touch our lives in more ways than we may realize—from arts and culture, education and healthcare to food assistance, housing, youth programs, environmental causes and so much more.

They bring people together, respond when communities need support and help make sure resources reach those who need them most.

And behind every mission are people making it happen—staff, volunteers, Board members, donors, partners and supporters.

Today, we celebrate and thank nonprofits everywhere for all they do for our communities. Happy National Nonprofit Day! 💜

Spoiler alert: Funding shifts. Increased demand. Low reserves.

One encouraging sign? The number of Massachusetts nonprofits with 50 or more employees is growing.

What do these trends mean for nonprofits and the leaders navigating what’s ahead?
