Reader's Digest Foundation offers ‘Make It Matter’ grants

The Reader’s Digest Foundation announced that it will donate $1 million to nonprofit organizations through a new initiative called “Make it Matter.” Grants will be inspired by individuals who are taking action and giving back to their communities in significant ways.

Every month, the Foundation will select one individual’s story of good deeds done and grant $100,000 to a nonprofit organization in honor of that individual. Reader’s Digest magazine will then feature that person in its new column, “Make it Matter.” The public can submit stories for consideration to http://www.rd.com/foundation.
