Is your company celebrating National Nonprofit Day on August 17? If so, consider honoring the holiday by engaging in community outreach.

Community outreach is when your organization engages with the local area. You can learn about residents’ needs and collaborate to address them.

One form of community outreach is corporate giving. Through this process, employees and companies contribute time, money, or other resources to nonprofit organizations, helping build stronger connections within the community.
