During April’s National Volunteer Month, Besa experienced its largest month of service to date: 1,600 volunteers completing 225 projects in support of 95 nonprofits. This impact was made possible through Franklin County’s continued partnership and the leadership of the Equity Council.

We are also pleased to share that five small businesses have joined The Collective, and new collaborations are underway to further engage nonprofit partners in volunteerism. Together, we are strengthening the fabric of Columbus.
