Highlighting Winston-Salem's Non-Profits One Organization at a Time

Who is your go to organization when you donate Winston-Salem?

By Jeffrey Willey Publisher Macaroni KID Winston-Salem, NC October 6, 2022

Are you someone who is looking to make a change in the world?  Do you see good deeds being done and want to do your part?  Maybe you have a personal attachment to a certain organization.  Whatever the case may be, non-profit companies depend on the support of outside public funding.  It is downright imperative to their survival.  As you plan your day, please take the time to make a plan to help.  

There are so many ways that we can help in our community. Some non-profits are looking for supplies, while some simply need volunteers. Of course, there is the traditional financial donation that allows organizations to stay afloat. Not to mention, some of you are looking for tax breaks. Donating to a non-profit allows you to write that donation off. 

Many non-profit organizations in and around the Winston-Salem area are looking for help from people in our community.  People like you!  At Macaroni KID Winston-Salem, we will be highlighting a different non-profit organization weekly nominated by our readers. If you have a non-profit organization you would like to nominate, please email us at mackidwinstonsalem@macaronikid.com.  All nominations must be made by a current subscriber of Macaroni KID Winston-Salem. This week, we recognize:


MUSE WINSTON-SALEM

226 S. Liberty Street, Winston-Salem, 27101

MUSE Winston-Salem is a local community history museum, preparing to renovate its new home. They continue their work on public programs such as their signature Salon Series and Story Slam events, oral history collection, and much more, even while they are in transition. Check the event details on their website to see what we have coming up.  You can also follow them on Facebook.

The story of MUSE Winston-Salem, as read from their website, was the vision of founding patron Frank Borden Hanes, Sr., to create a place that unites our community through a deeper understanding of history and therefore each other, where all people, curious about the experiences of others, can connect and belong, so that we may fulfill our potential as one city, reaching confidently toward its future while rooted proudly in its past.

Formerly the New Winston Museum, this newly-named, relocated museum is Winston-Salem’s history museum. Its mission is to unite our community through conversation and connection.  For Muse to continue to contribute to the community, they count on the community to contribute to Muse.  Through the generosity of the community, MUSE is able to unite our community and promote understanding, storytelling, and engagement.  To make a donation, click here.
