Abstract/Description
From small towns to big cities, in every congressional district and state, nonprofits partner with government at all levels to meet essential needs that neither the private sector nor government alone can fully address. Through these partnerships, nonprofits meet real needs in real time, in all our communities. They show up in times of great need, providing disaster relief, crisis support, and safety from danger. Nonprofits also help communities every day by providing childcare, support for seniors and veterans, job training, food and shelter.
The work of nonprofits throughout the United States improves lives, strengthens communities, and bolsters the economy. From hospitals to libraries, churches to food banks, from veterans to school children, and artists to researchers, nonprofits serve rural, suburban, and urban communities throughout America. Nonprofits feed, heal, shelter, and nurture people of every age, gender, race, socioeconomic status and political persuasion. Nonprofits touch and benefit all Americans throughout our lives. Nonprofits are often the difference between a family eating or going hungry, a senior supported at home or left to fend for themselves, a veteran receiving job placement support or collecting unemployment. Nonprofits represent the best of America: neighbors helping neighbors.
