Celebrating National Nonprofit Day: Supporting Our Communities Through Scholarships and Grants

8/15/2025

Each year on August 17, National Nonprofit Day recognizes the vital role nonprofit organizations play in improving communities, empowering individuals and addressing the needs of those they serve. It’s a day to honor the work of countless organizations whose missions help build stronger, healthier and more connected communities.

At the Christie Foundation, we are proud to be part of this impact. Our mission is simple yet powerful—to support the communities we serve through scholarships and grants that inspire education, improve access to healthcare and promote the well-being of our neighbors.

For decades, the Christie Foundation has invested in the next generation of healthcare providers by awarding scholarships to students pursuing careers in medicine, nursing and other healthcare fields. These scholarships not only help alleviate the financial burden of education but also ensure that our communities continue to have compassionate, skilled professionals dedicated to care.

Beyond scholarships, the Christie Foundation also provides grants to local organizations and initiatives that align with our vision of healthier communities. From supporting free clinics and community health programs to funding outreach efforts and educational events, we are committed to making a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve.

The impact of these efforts reaches far beyond individual recipients. When a student becomes a nurse thanks to scholarship support, patients benefit. When a local health program receives funding, families gain access to the resources they need. Each scholarship awarded and grant given is a step toward a healthier, stronger community.

National Nonprofit Day is more than a celebration, it’s a reminder of the collective power we hold when we work together for the common good. None of this is possible without the generosity of donors who believe in our mission. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps the Christie Foundation continue to fund life-changing scholarships and essential community programs.

As we recognize National Nonprofit Day, we invite you to join us in our mission. Your support directly impacts lives by helping students achieve their dreams, strengthening local healthcare and fostering a healthier future for all.

Together, we can make a lasting difference.

Donate to the Christie Foundation today and be a part of building a healthier, brighter tomorrow for our communities.
