Can you help NNS hit 100?
On Nov. 1, we kicked off our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year. Our goal is to raise $15,000 before midnight on Dec. 31.
If we add 100 new donors before midnight on Dec. 31, we will win an extra $2,000 bonus from the Institute for Nonprofit News. No gift is too small to help us hit this goal!
