\u00a0\u201cHow wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.\u201d<\/em> On August 17, the United States celebrates National Nonprofit Day, a special day that shines a spotlight on the social sector and honors all the nonprofit organizations that work tirelessly to make this world a better place.<\/p>\n A nonprofit is defined as an organization that is not driven by profit but by dedication to a given cause. A nonprofit\u2019s goal is to nurture and further its mission. Because any surplus profits after operating expenses are reinvested into the organization, nonprofits normally enjoy a tax-exempt status.<\/p>\n While many believe that nonprofits are a relatively new concept, they have been around for 126 years since the 1896 Tariff Act, which exempts nonprofits from federal income tax, was passed.<\/p>\n The nonprofit torch was further carried on when National Volunteer Week was created in 1974 to recognize volunteers and their power to tackle society\u2019s greatest challenges.<\/p>\n The nonprofit tradition got another boost 38 years later when the Giving Tuesday movement was introduced to \u201creimagine a world built upon shared humanity and radical generosity.\u201d<\/p>\n In the United States, there are 27 different types of nonprofits although most fall under the category of 501(c)(3). A 501(c)(3) is a charitable organization that receives IRS tax exemption status and is funded primarily through charitable donations and government grants. Any donation to a 501(c)(3) is tax-deductible.<\/p>\n Our nonprofit, the Plant-Based Life Foundation received its 501(c)(3) recognition in its first year of operation during the Covid pandemic. That enabled our supporters to make tax-deductible donations as individuals or through corporate matching gift programs.<\/p>\n We would like to take advantage of National Nonprofit Day to say thank you to everyone who has supported the Plant-Based Life Foundation. Your support enables us to offer transformative resources to anyone who wants to learn more about plant-based living<\/em><\/strong>. <\/a><\/p>\n Your generosity has allowed us to achieve two major milestones in our first year of operation: the launch of our first free challenge as well as our signature lifestyle change program\u2014Life Lab 360.<\/p>\n And your continued support will allow us to sustain our efforts to help individuals around the world to live healthier and happier lives. To join us in our mission, you can make a tax deductible donation here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n During the 5 Days to Reset Your Plant-Based Life Challenge participants learned:<\/p>\n If you would like to participate in future challenges, GO HERE <\/strong><\/a>and click Join the Movement<\/strong><\/em> to get our newsletter.<\/p>\n Life Lab 360 is an easy-to-follow and profoundly transformative program that teaches members the importance of emotional mastery and how to make permanent habit changes through monthly evidence-based live trainings in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.
