Not all nonprofits are created equally–larger charities and not for profit organizations tend to receive more funding and more attention from media and potential donors. Here are a few nonprofit organizations that you should be aware of from Carole Argo.

1. FOUR NOTABLE
NONPROFITS
You Probably Haven't
Heard of
ARGO

2. NONPROFITS
Nationwide
In the wide world of giving, there are a few nonprofit organizations
that everyone has heard of–the ones that are nearly ubiquitous by
now. These are the enormous organizations that receive millions
and millions in donations each year to help their cause.

3. UBIQUITOUS
These organzations–while more often than not outstanding
organizations that help millions of people each year–often allow
other, smaller orgs to fall out of the spotlight..

4. Unfortunately, those nonprofits that do fall through the cracks each
year receive less than stellar volunteer and donation efforts, making
the goal of helping others more difficult.

FALLING
THROUGH THE
CRACKS

5. The New York based
organization helps
young women
develop more
confidence and
develop their voices
through series of
public speaking
sessions, writing
workshops and one
on one work with
mentors.
Visit them at
GirlsWriteNow.org.
GIRLSWRITENOW
GirlsWriteNow is a
nonprofit mentoring
service for females
who are involved or
wish to get involved
with writing.
The organization
matches writers of all
types–poems, stories,
creative fiction,
etc–with a mentor
who can act as a
writing coach, a
workshop leader and
a creative writing
companion.

6. Rather than dispose of those crayons, donate
them.
The Crayon Initiative takes damaged and
unwanted crayons and recycles them into new
ones–donating all of them to hospitals, schools,
etc that are in need.
Visit them at Thecrayoninitiative.org
THE CRAYON
INITIATIVE
If you have kids, grandkids or nieces and
nephews, chances are you've got a box (or
five) of crayons laying around the house
somewhere.
And, chances are, at least half of them are
broken or otherwise damaged.

7. Drive Change is a nonprofit organization that
allows young adults who were recently released
from prison or jail to take jobs at food trucks in
NYC, cooking up food for patrons while they
learn marketable life skills.
Visit them at DriveChangeNYC.org.
DRIVE CHANGE
How can a grilled cheese a cup of soup
change the world? Well, you might be
surprised to know that for some young
people, learning to cook can act as an
opportunity for success.

8. Despite making
incredible strides
both as a sex and an
organization, Ms.
Foundation for
Women isn't done
yet–not even close.
They continue to
lead the charge for
equality in the form
of educating the
world on women's
safety, education,
health and economic
issues.
Visit them
at ForWomen.org.
MS. FOUNDATION
FOR WOMEN
In 1973, four women
determined to set the
stage for generations
of individuals to
come decided they
had had enough of
being considered
lesser than their male
counterparts.
Ms. Foundation for
Women was created
as a means of giving
voices to women and
bringing about
positive forward
progress
everywhere.
