National Nonprofit Day is celebrated on August 17th. It’s a day to recognize and appreciate the vital work of nonprofit organizations and the impact they have on communities according to the American Red Cross. The day was established in 2017 and coincides with the anniversary of the Tariff Act of 1894, which authorized exemptions for nonprofit corporations, according to the National Day Calendar.
