Sometimes asking for what we need is hard.

That's no different for a nonprofit. Some 501c3s have a team of fund raisers devoted to help scale the mission. Others have staff that wear all the hats. And still others are volunteers working to do good.

More heart is good. 💚

We celebrate the aspirations and accomplishments of volunteers and nonprofit teams that show up to help communities ravaged by extreme rain and floods. Those that advocate for clean water and breathable air.

Ever look at a holiday wreath and see more than just a decoration?

Its origins are a symbol of victory, pride, and the unbreakable circle of life. The word “wreath” itself comes from an old English word meaning “to twist,” representing the way evergreen branches are woven together.

Starting With Formaldehyde, Trump Administration Reassesses Chemical Risks
A draft memo from the E.P.A. assumes a safe threshold exists for formaldehyde, upending earlier findings that there is no safe level of exposure to the carcinogen.
