Altruity can help!

National Nonprofit day is coming up on August 17! Which American charity will you choose to donate to?

National Nonprofit Day was created to celebrate the accomplishments and positive impacts that nonprofit organizations across the nation have on our communities. First, let’s dive into the history of the holiday. Then, find out how Altruity can help you maximize your charitable giving impact!

The History of National Nonprofit Day

Best-selling author and speaker Sherita J. Herring founded National Nonprofit Day to commemorate August 17, 1894, when the Tariff Act was signed into law. The Tariff Act was the first federal income tax imposed on corporations, but it gave important exemptions to charitable organizations and nonprofits in our country.

Those exemptions have helped hundreds of thousands of charitable organizations to grow and succeed in their missions.

How to Celebrate National Nonprofit Day

Today, we celebrate National Nonprofit Day in appreciation of everything these key American charities do for our society—and one of the best ways to show our gratitude is by giving back!

Altruity, an innovative and efficient online charitable giving platform, is designed to put more power in the hands of donors like you. With Altruity’s popular Gift Basket feature, you can select up to 10 charities and donate to all of them in just a single transaction, eliminating the need to search for multiple webpages to donate to each charity directly. Altruity brings the charities to you!

The platform will also track your tax-deductible receipts for easy access once you create your free account. Altruity offers so many amazing features and benefits for donors to help make donating to charities online more accessible.

Choose Your Charity 

The biggest decision is choosing which top-rated charities you want to donate to online. Altruity has more than 45,000 U.S. charities to choose from! From wildlife conservation charities to top education charities and hunger relief organizations, we guarantee there’s a national charity that you’re passionate about that needs your help.

But how do you choose?

Altruity makes it easy. You can peruse our Charity Spotlights of the day featuring national charities in need, like the American Red Cross or St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Or, you can refine your search using our Mission Tiles that categorize organizations based on the cause, like Veteran Support, Youth Causes, or International Needs.

If you’re still not sure, try selecting our Wild Card feature! Let fate decide who you help today and potentially learn about a new mission that you can support.
