“Nonprofits Get It Done” — National Council of Nonprofits and Together SC Launch SC campaign to reaffirm the role of nonprofits in American life

New Campaign Highlights How Local Nonprofits Strengthen Communities, Serve Neighbors, and Improve Lives Across South Carolina

Together SC, a network of 1,000 nonprofits across the state, announced the official launch of a new social media campaign: Nonprofits Get It Done.  Together SC is proud to partner with the National Council of Nonprofits, a network of over 30,000 nonprofits across the US to educate citizens on the vital role nonprofits play in our local communities. The educational campaign intends to reach people across the state to highlight how nonprofits show up for those in need, solve problems, and serve local communities and their neighbors every single day.

In South Carolina, nonprofits are vital to the health and success of local communities, feeding families, supporting children, and strengthening neighborhoods. The Nonprofits Get It Done campaign highlights organizations such as SC First Steps, which sets kids up for academic success, and Harvest Hope, which works to ensure no one has to struggle to put a healthy meal on the table. These are just two examples of how nonprofits across South Carolina deliver real solutions to real needs every day.

“Nonprofits in South Carolina have a tremendous impact on the wellbeing of our neighbors all year long,” said Karen Riordan, President and CEO of Together SC. “Whether it is helping residents affected by hurricanes, to feeding children and providing safe, affordable housing for families, South Carolina nonprofits answer the call every day.

Nonprofits Get It Done will highlight the vital role nonprofits play in communities across the state. They are the first people on the ground in times of natural disasters, they assist the elderly and the hungry, they provide crisis support for those facing health emergencies, and much more. Nonprofits meet real needs in real time, right in our own backyards.

The campaign also encourages the public to raise their voices and urge lawmakers to take action to protect and empower nonprofits that serve as the backbone of American society.

Together SC’s mission is to strengthen and unite South Carolina’s nonprofit and philanthropic network.  Serving 1,000 nonprofit members across the state, we provide training and development, education, networking, helpful tools and resources, as well as advocacy to help nonprofits excel, collaborate and create positive impact for the people they serve.
