Nonprofit Newsletter Drive: Read About the Winners
Patch is proud to name the charities receiving donations through our Nonprofit Newsletter Drive.
Dear Readers,
A little while back, Patch pledged to donate up to $3,000 to local charities through our Nonprofit Newsletter Drive. We invited you to sign up for your local Patch newsletter and, in the process, to name a nonprofit to receive a donation on your behalf.
Nearly 3,500 of you took part, naming nonprofits that work with children, the poor, sexual assault victims and the disabled. Many of you also showed your support for the arts and dozens of other worthy causes in your community.

At Patch, we are committed to giving back to our communities, and not just by reporting the news. The Nonprofit Newsletter Drive is one way we've done that. And every few months, Patch employees close the lids on our laptops and spend time doing hands-on volunteer work during our Give 5 days.
We also provide free space on our sites for people to post an announcement and spread the word about the good work that nonprofits are doing.
Clearly a lot of you also care about giving back. Thank you for participating in our Nonprofit Newsletter Drive.
