This quarter, the Champaign room is spotlighting Crisis Nursery

Free 24-hour emergency care for children from birth to age six and support for families in crisis in Champaign County, Illinois, to help prevent child abuse and neglect.

We send attention their way. They didn’t ask us to, we just think you should know about them. A cause our members can back locally. Share their work with a parent, teacher, or business owner who would want to know. Visit their site to learn more and find the ways to get involved that fit you.

These are independent organizations. A listing here is not an endorsement, a partnership, or a financial relationship. We review listings and can remove one at any time.

Our nonprofit partner

And the one this whole network is for: Best-Friend.org

Millions of healthy animals are put down simply because shelters run out of room. Best‑Friend.org is the world’s first decentralized nonprofit with a planned ending: it builds the system any community can install to fix that, then shuts itself down because it is no longer needed.

It never asks anyone for money. Sharing is the donation. The rooms build the businesses, and the attention they earn goes to emptying the shelters.
