New National Ad Campaign Highlights How Local Nonprofits Strengthen Communities, Serve Neighbors, and Improve Lives Across the Country  

Washington, D.C. – The National Council of Nonprofits (NCN), a network of more than 30,000 nonprofits across the U.S., today announced the official launch of a new ad campaign: Nonprofits Get It Done. In Utah, NCN is proud to partner with Utah Nonprofits Association (UNA), a statewide membership organization that serves as a hub for shared knowledge and a collective voice for nonprofits across the state. Amid escalating political threats to nonprofits, the creative campaign intends to reach people across the country to highlight how nonprofits show up for those in need, solve problems, and serve local communities and neighbors every single day. 

In Utah, nonprofits are vital to the health and success of local communities, feeding families, supporting children, and strengthening neighborhoods. The Nonprofits Get It Done campaign highlights organizations such as The Refuge in Orem, which provides resources for survivors of domestic violence, and Utah Food Bank, which has provided emergency food resources to Utahns facing hunger since 1904. These are just two examples of how nonprofits across the state deliver real solutions to real needs every day. 

“At a time when the role and rights of local community organizations and charitable nonprofits are being called into question, Nonprofits Get It Done offers a celebration of the everyday impact nonprofits make, uplifting the people, places, and possibilities they help bring to life across the country,” said Diane Yentel, President and CEO of NCN. “Using real stories of actual nonprofits, we are able to remind the public, and our elected leaders, that nonprofits are essential partners in creating stronger communities.” 

“Utah’s nonprofits embody our state’s deep-rooted culture of generosity, service, and community,” said Jill Bennett, CEO of Utah Nonprofits Association. “From rural towns to urban neighborhoods, nonprofits step in where they’re most needed by feeding families, mentoring youth, responding to crises, and strengthening communities. This campaign is a powerful reminder that in Utah, when our neighbors need help, nonprofits get it done.” 

Nonprofits Get It Done will highlight the vital role nonprofits play in communities across the nation. They are the first people on the ground in times of natural disasters, they assist the elderly and the hungry, they provide crisis support for those facing health emergencies, and much more. Nonprofits meet real needs in real time, right in our own backyards. 

The campaign also encourages the public to raise their voices and urge lawmakers to take action to protect and empower the organizations that serve as the backbone of American society. 

“Nonprofits are deeply embedded in the daily lives of every American. This campaign shines a light on the people and organizations doing the work and calls on all of us to support them. Because when it comes to making an impact in communities and bettering our nation, nonprofits get it done,” Yentel added.
