My bookstore experienced a devastating fire and I applied for assistance with BINC. I received quick contact from BINC and the assistance was above and beyond what I thought I would receive. In a time when cash flow was tight (especially while waiting for my insurance to come through), BINC helped my store stay afloat. I am so grateful for BINC being an incredible resource to the bookstore industry.

Let's be honest with you I thought that by going to the classes that I were taking with Miss April will be beneficial to me I had a lot of fun and I got some things out of it when it came to me getting help towards the things that I needed to be doing because of my past and because of the things that I were involved in she didn't want to help me I wanted to know how I could get back into my nursing what steps that I need to take because I was in trouble in the past and I was trying to get over that stump and try to better myself by going in back into the career that I always dreamed of I had that going for myself but I had got into some little trouble back in 2000 and it went downhill from there but I thought the class would take me to a better place when I started telling her my story she didn't started talking about what I was doing in my life and and the people that I hung around with and so I'm still overloaded and I was still trying to figure out what can I do to take the steps to get back into the career that I want to be in she told me I had to do this this this and that as far as my lifestyle before she wouldn't even think about helping me get back into the nursing field in other words the people that I hang around the places that I were going she was looking in more into that and not until not into the fact that I was coming to her to get through those steps but everybody else she would help send them back to school teach them how to go here give them the necessary means to get where they want to go but when it came to certain people she has a real problem so in that point I don't go get any food from our place and she told my donations people giving some how you going to give something to the homeless community when you're charging them for it that's how you building all these new buildings and going all over and beyond all you know out here with the rich people are you got to know where you came from and realize where you came from and not turn your head toward the people that's downward don't forget you got a lot of people in your past too you've always not been that bright so I do not recommend her services to anyone

Best Nonprofit we have worked in Portland area. they helped the Beaverton school district for back to school supplies.

These folks came to my rescue, wasn’t even expecting it!<br>Thank you for helping me, when I was in need!

I don't know much about the Foundation. I have been to Tuba Christmas many times. My brother knew Harvey Phillips. My brother was the Tuba player for the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. He went to Curtis in Philadelphia before studying in Germany on a Fulbright and then auditioning for RCO. So I am familiar with the Tuba syndrome and support it. My brother had a wonderful life touring the world and playing beautiful music with a world class orchestra. What could be better? Urge the kids to keep practicing.

Disabling Barriers is a fantastic organization to work with, from caring and involved staff to staying engaged in programs/projects the support. Disabling Barriers has been vital in the growth of our organization - expanding services and meeting the needs of individuals on the autism spectrum in Southern Colorado.

<br>My daughter has been a very happy resident for 20+ years. She is an adult that is afforded to ability to live independently with help. I truly cannot be any happier with her care from the extremely dedicated staff and and administrative leadership. The direct care staff truly loves the residents and are committed to providing quality and respectful care to all of them. I hear comments from them often saying “I love working here”, “each one of the residents DESERVE nothing but the best”. They work hard and go the extra mile as all agencies in Louisville are short staffed. They make it work!<br><br>As a Mom, I cannot recommend Day Spring any higher. I can lay my head down at night knowing she leading a safe, fulfilled and happy life. Thank you Day Spring!

Education and Hope is a non-profit that blows me away. Julie Coyne is the leading light of this non-profit, and the miracles she’s accomplished over the last 2 decades (almost single-handedly) are incredible. <br>I have been fortunate enough to be involved with E&H my whole life and visit the program in Guatemala on numerous occasions. This is so much more than an educational program — though the academic opportunities it provides are changing lives and family situations. This organization is a family... a community that steps up for each other in times of need, that constantly<br>Works to better itself, that is built on love.<br>I can’t think of a more worthy charity.

This foundation was setup by Father who passed away in 2013. It’s a shame it’s not being distributed as his wishes and requests. The people on the board are not handling the funds as requested. Wish there was a way for an investigation of fraud

Haigler Community Foundation was founded in 2014 to raise funds to purchase a closed school facility and convert to a Center for Community Services. In the last 5 years, the Foundation has grown to include ownership and development of three Haigler Museums as well as the Center for Community Services which has become a major event center for not only southwest Nebraska but the tri-state area of Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas. The Foundation also owns and operates a community thrift store at the Center. Haigler's population is less than 150 but draws support from throughout the area. The Foundation is operated by all volunteers in the community, and has raised over $250,000 for community projects and events. Small communities can make a difference!

No words to adequately express the profundity of the experience Wamp provided me. My two weeks there volunteering in the kitchen turned into five. An incredible setting, overflowing with incredible humans doing amazing things. My life was altered and I won't ever be the same!! So great. Wamp Dust is REAL and it makes everything different. I LOVE MY CAMP WAMP LIFE!

Born in Ghana, West Africa, I migrated to the United States in 1995. Born with Sickle Cell Disease SCD), I was also diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), in 2003. In 2010, I underwent Stem Cell Transplantation, which cured me of SCD and MS both of which were known to be incurable diseases. Granted Stem Cell Transplantation was still in its experimental stage. However, I was fortunate to have gotten a two for one deal. Experiencing this breakthrough cure, I have made it part of my mission to promote Bone Marrow Transplant by highlighting how life-changing being a donor can be. <br>I lived with SCD for almost 38 years. I experienced multiple pain crises a month. MS flare ups and pain crises affected my daily life. Even though I carried the SCD, my whole family suffered through it with me. As a woman, I dreaded each time I went into my menstrual cycle. Something that was exciting for most women was of great dread to me because every time I went through a cycle, I would end up with a pain crisis of some sort.<br>After my diagnosis with MS, I went through a period of anger, frustration and depression. How was I to live a productive life? I was angry at the world and angry at God and severely depressed. To me there was no light at the end of the tunnel. I could not see a light there. I woke up in pain and went to bed in pain. The list of medication I was taking was quite lengthy. I struggled to maintain a part time job. I was addicted to opioids and struggled to balance life by knowing when to take the medication for pain and when not to. I did not have hope I would be where I am today.<br>Thanks to Stem Cell Transplant my life has changed. My life has made a 360 degree change. A lot of the things I am able to engage in now, I was unable to engage in not too long ago. Although I had heard of Stem Cell Transplant being a possible cure for SCD, I never dreamt I would even be considered a candidate for this procedure. I never thought I would ever have the opportunity to undergo such a ground breaking procedure.<br>In 2010 after a series of testing of my parents and siblings, I was informed my mother was a match for the bone marrow transplant. It was an exciting day. Although she shared with me how happy and grateful she was to have this opportunity in assisting with a cure for me, I can only imagine the anxiety she had considering the possibility the transplant could not work. My mother and I had great faith and we placed our complete trust in God.<br>The momentous day occurred on November 18 of 2010. It was a day like any other to most people. But for me it was the day my life would change forever. This life which had been filled with pain and struggles was about to end. I was aware of the complications that could arise. I was aware of all of the possibility of rejection. I tried to think positively and not dwell on the negative aspects of this process. <br>As the cells made their way into my veins on this day, I knew my life would never be the same. After being in the hospital for weeks, it was confirmed that not only had the bone marrow cured the SCD, it had also cured the MS and a Neurologist confirmed this months later. <br>Although occasionally I am told the percentage of the donor cells in my body are decreasing and could potentially cause the Sickle Cell Disease to return to my body, I still press on with faith. I do not allow this news to discourage me. Many times I have been told this news. Yet nothing has changed. As of now, the donor cells are at 18% and I have been advised if they go any lower than that, I will have to get re-transplanted a second time. As usual, I am not experiencing any symptoms nor am I feeling any different. I know when god does something He does it once and for all. There is no do over and there will not be a do over in my case.<br>In November of 2015, my doctor advised me she had seen three blood clots in an artery in my brain that was growing to a point of concern. I went to John Hopkins where further tests revealed there were actually five clots. Two of the clots were behind each eye and one was at the base of my brain. The clots had enlarged over time to a point of great concern to my Neurosurgeon. The interesting about this was that I was not experiencing any symptoms whatsoever. I was experiencing an occasional headache, but there was nothing out of the ordinary or different about those headaches. My medical team feared they would rapture at some point and could cause major complications and hence advised me to get the, taken care off immediately.<br>The months following this revelation were quite trying for me and my family. But as God had always had a hand on me and brought me through some difficult medical issues, we had faith that He would work this out too. We scheduled 3 different procedures about six weeks apart for each one to get the clots coiled to prevent further enlargement. Thankfully my employer was gracious and understanding of my situation and allowed me time off for each procedure. That shows me how great God is.<br>I thank God every day for what He has brought me through. All this has strengthened my family and my faith. I know God is in control and there is nothing for me to fear. I am writing an autobiography to share my story with others, because there is a purpose for me, is why I am still here.<br>I have since been able to live a productive life with no pain or MS flare ups. Not only do I have a full time job, but I am able to engage in activities I could never image myself engaged in before. I have been living on my own for the last 5 years and able to walk several miles a day. I am excited about the possibilities life has to offer and I am most grateful to Science. New developments in Science, most importantly advancements in gene therapy specifically are what have brought me to this place. A place free of pain, numbness, depression and no joy. I encourage people to be a donor because you never know what a difference you can make in someone’s life.<br><br><br><br>

I don't have a story yet but I will be posting at a later date

This is a great Organization to help our Youth excel in the communities and across the country. There are stories in media about demonstrations, truancy, etc by the youth but very seldom about the good they do. Our Organization recognizes the youth who does extraordinary acts of kindness toward others with the Daniel Cox Appreciation Award and the Michael Spann College Grant.

What&rsquo;s more heart-warming than the sight of a small child enjoying the simple pleasures of play? Think of a toddler laughing endlessly at a pop-up toy, or the quiet joy of a preschooler being read a favorite book. For 2.5 million homeless children in the U.S. there is little or no opportunity for playtime; a family&rsquo;s belongings have been pared down to what can easily be carried &ndash; there are no toys, no books, not even a safe place to play. <br><br>The Bright Horizons Foundation for Children (www.brighthorizonsfoundation.org) recognizes that every child deserves to have a safe, warm place in which to learn and play. These environments are called &ldquo;Bright Spaces&rdquo;, and the Foundation has created hundreds of them all over the U.S., and in the U.K. and Ireland. <br><br>I got involved with the Bright Horizons Foundation for Children in the same way as so many of my colleagues did; because the work of the Foundation is woven into the fabric of corporate life at Bright Horizons, there is no way to avoid it! &ldquo;FUNdraising&rdquo; for the Foundation is a wonderful way of bringing more than 25,000 employees together in a meaningful way &ndash; across countries and continents &ndash; with a single purpose: To help children and families in crisis. <br><br>My first involvement with the Bright Horizons Foundation for Children dates back nearly 8 years ago when my team at work decided to fundraise to create a Bright Space as a team-building exercise. We have a large team spread all across the country, and it was a wonderful way for us to collaborate on something outside of our day-to-day jobs. We worked hard on fundraising over a period of about 6 months, and I&rsquo;ll never forget the weekend we all gathered together in Somerville MA to work on the space &ndash; clearing and cleaning, painting and unpacking, building and cleaning again. It was two solid days of hard work, made entirely worth the effort by the pure JOY on the faces of the children the night of the Grand Opening. We repeated the exercise a couple of years later to create another space at a homeless shelter in New York City, and are currently working on yet another in Colorado! <br><br>I have two children of my own, 10 nieces and nephews. I can&rsquo;t imagine what it would be like for them to be homeless, to not have their toys and books, or even a safe place to hang out. More than anything, THEY are the reason I have, and will continue to support the work of the Bright Horizons Foundation for Children. <br>

Would you believe it? There are 48 Million Americans at risk of hunger everyday (they don't know where their next meal is going to come from). 16 Million of them are children - and undoubtedly one of those families is your neighbor ... The Sodexo Foundation helps raise money and distribute it to people and organizations who help fight childhood hunger in America. It's a GREAT organization that does INCREDIBLE work and really makes a difference. Check them out ...

Geneva National Foundation has been so generous to Studio 84. Several of our students attended the Life Empowerment Open that benefits individuals with special needs. Our students from Studio 84 created paintings while the golfers walked around and took off in their golf carts. The students had a chance to watch all of the carts take off, see their first sausage race, enjoy a nice lunch with great company, tour the building and also ride in the golf carts. This was really a life changing experience for our students and this is something they will talk about for a life time. Thank you so much for having us and I know our students are already asking to come back. Also, thank you for supporting Studio 84. We love our new ceramics equipment, everyone is getting great use out of it.

The Ford Foundation is a very corrupt communist organization from its very founding, whose goal is to subvert the USA.

I have been with the Child Foundation for about two years now as board member and treasurer, and I have with with other nonprofit organizations, and I truly see a difference with the Child Foundation's aim and objective, and the dedication the members and volunteers have in helping children achieve a brighter future.

Planters is getting credit for charity at their clients expense. On top of that there is no charity for there clients in the sense of kindness or willingness to work with people. They want your money or else because in their service areas you don't have another option, so customers have to do what they say or no electricity. Just another league of business out for power and greed like the majority of the country.

This charity is one of the most compassionate local charities around. They rally community members, forming friendships & huge support teams for families in need. Great people - great foundation. Many can learn from Footrprints...and should!
