United States Congress has designated November 15`" as National Philanthropy Day;
and
WHEREAS, voluntary associations farmed to address societal needs are an integral part of
American society; and

orphans and volunteer fire departments, to name a few; and
WHEREAS, Americans annually contribute billions of dollars to many worthwhile charities; and
WHEREAS, today the non-profit sector affects nearly every citizen in many ways through
educational and religious organizations, museums and universities, shelters for the
homeless and clubs that enrich their youth, and social service agencies that provide
food, clothing, housing, training and help for the indigent.
