Giving to local charities is a powerful way to invest in your community. Donating to a cause you care about has a direct impact on the people and projects the charities serve.
Here is a list of nonprofit organizations within the Pine Plains Central School District. Those noted with “**” have a 501(c)3 tax-exempt status, or have a fiscal sponsor, and donations to them are tax-deductible. Others may not have that status but they do good and important work.
If you don’t see a charity you hold dear, contact calendar@newpineplainsherald.org so it can be added to the list.
