Nonprofits Get It Done

Maine nonprofits are a driving force in both our communities and economy, employing 1 in 6 workers and contributing over $16 billion to the economy each year. They are the first people on the ground in times of natural disasters, they assist the elderly and the hungry, they provide crisis support for those facing health emergencies, and much more.

Nonprofits Get It Done is a campaign to celebrate nonprofits as the backbone of American society and essential partners in building stronger, more resilient communities.

“Nonprofits are deeply embedded in the daily lives of every American. This campaign shines a light on the people and organizations doing the work and calls on all of us to support them. Because when it comes to making an impact in communities and bettering our nation, nonprofits get it done.” - Diane Yentel, President and CEO of National Council of Nonprofits
