SUMMARY:Give NOLA Day
DESCRIPTION:For the first time ever\, NPI will participate in Give NOLA Day. This annual online giving event supports over 900 local nonprofit organizations and is hosted by the Greater New Orleans Foundation. Donations to NPI will help cover “behind-the-scenes” costs like the NPI website and other digital communications\, sign printing for events\, and volunteer garden project expenses like mulch and tools. Dust off your piggy bank and mark your calendar to support NPI on Give NOLA Day (early giving begins Tuesday\, April 28). If you’d like to help raise funds for NPI during the fundraising period\, sign up to be a Give NOLA Day Ambassador; NPI will send you images\, statements\, and the donation link for you to text\, email\, and share on your social media. Growing and sharing native plants makes a difference that’s visible every day. Sharing with NPI on Give NOLA Day will make a difference too.
