October has come to a close, crisper weather has set in, and thoughts of cranberry sauce are beginning to dance in our heads... or at least in my head.
But November is also a month for something besides cranberries. In North Carolina, November is Nonprofit Awareness Month--a time for staff, board members, and volunteers to team up to promote N.C.'s awesome nonprofit organizations and to encourage involvement in the sector.
The nonprofit sector in this state is wonderfully vibrant. You might recall from my post following the N.C. Center for Nonprofit's annual conference that one in every 18 N.C. residents is employed by a nonprofit. In fact, nonprofit organizations provide almost twice as many jobs as tourism in this state, which is saying something.
If you want more information about Nonprofit Awareness Month, check out the materials the N.C. Center for Nonprofits have put together. For our part, Chat with Cat is going to highlight a nonprofit each Tuesday during the month of November. I've chosen five organizations whose missions are tied to Montreat Conference Center, and I hope that this month's posts will encourage you not only to check out the highlighted nonprofits, but also to see how you can get involved in the nonprofits near you.
