Our Marin Gives Back annual feature always ranks high among our most read stories of the year — and for good reason. Marin’s nonprofits make a real difference in our community, by helping children, seniors, the homeless, families, animals, the environment and so much more.
We asked our local nonprofits how they could benefit from contributions during the holiday season, and here’s what they had to say on how donations ranging from $50 to $10,000 would enable them to help others.
Now it’s your turn. Take a look at our list to see how you can help spread hope and goodwill this season by making a contribution to one or a few of these incredible arts organizations.
