Local nonprofit leaders are driven to solve challenges, provide services and create cultural opportunities. Nonprofits often have a certain kind of nimbleness and innovative spirit that matches their mission-based work. They are also particularly vulnerable to economic and political changes that affect government funding, individual donations and corporate philanthropy. Pillars of Philanthropy is dedicated to celebrating the work of our nonprofit leaders who work tirelessly to serve the community. Business Record and dsm magazine thank you for the work you do to help every member of our community get the resources they need.
