Conroe is a Community that Cares!

Like a warm blanket on a cool evening, the fabric of a community can bring warmth and security to the individuals, businesses and organizations living and working within. A community’s capacity to care for others through charitable giving and programmatic efforts can raise the quality of life, impart a shared sense of belonging, strengthen economic vitality and simply give a chance to those who struggle.

In 2022, Americans gave almost $500 billion to charity. While that was more than a 3% decline from 2021 and a year-to-year decline for the first time since 2009, that giving was comparable to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. As inflationary signs and general economic struggles persist in 2023, communities nationwide continue to turn to local nonprofit organizations to help those in need.

Staff members volunteer thousands of hours annually for organizations throughout the region. The organization provides millions of dollars in charity care, uninsured discounts and other uncompensated care. 

National Nonprofit Day

August 17 is National Nonprofit Day, intended to recognize those individuals and organizations that work to promote awareness of and offer assistance to individuals and families in need. Their tireless efforts help improve the quality of place and give hope to millions of people across the country. The magnitude of nonprofits' presence is unknown to most. Approximately 1.5 million nonprofit organizations employ about 10% of the U.S. workforce, the third largest collection after retail and manufacturing. Their efforts result in nearly 6% of the country's GDP.

Now is the time to promote your nonprofit organization or recognize the volunteers and donors that make your endeavor possible. The #NationalNonprofitDay is a great way to inspire others to get involved or create awareness for your cause.

Conroe Cares!

Nonprofits often cite the last week of the year as their busiest regarding donations. Instead, think of this time of year and National Nonprofit Day as a time to donate, volunteer or recognize nonprofits in the Conroe area. In addition to those organizations listed above, other area nonprofits can be found at the Conroe/Lake Conroe Chamber of Commerce, Greater East Montgomery County Chamber and Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce.
