We continue our visit with Anne Murray, education and communications director for SMILES, Southern Minnesota Independent Living Enterprises and Services. This week Anne talks about the power of working together. Many nonprofit organizations working together in a community helps to serve all their clients better, and so supporting even just one organization and its volunteers supports all of them.
Nonprofits and community impact
Nonprofits have a wider impact than just their mission and just their community, says Anne Murray, education and communications director for SMILES, Southern Minnesota Independent Living Enterprises and Services. When nonprofits provide services and cooperate with other nonprofits to strengthen one part of the community, the results produce a ripple effect affecting other parts of the community and the economy.
