Nonprofit Awareness Month
November is dedicated to celebrating the value of Idaho’s nonprofits and to expanding public understanding of the important role they play in building healthy vibrant Idaho communities.
Join us in celebrating nonprofits this November! There is no prescribed set of activities. Each participating nonprofit chooses how to recognize the success of nonprofits! Some examples might include: request proclamations from government officials, host a nonprofit party, or hang posters.
