Today officially kicks off the “season of giving” with GivingTuesday, a day when people across the US come together to help improve the lives of others. It’s a great day to make that donation you’ve been meaning to make, or sign up to volunteer for a cause you believe in – and it’s a good day to share some of the charities that Nitsch and our employees support!
The list below includes a mix of charities that Nitsch supports at a corporate level as well as charities that our employees (and Nitsch) have supported as part of our Nitsch Cares charitable giving matching program. These charities work to fight hunger, end homelessness, support engineering education (particularly for girls and people of color who are underrepresented in the field), protect the environment, and helping populations of people in need. We invite you to check out these charities at the links below, and make a donation to one (or more!) that match your interests.
