Serving people who do great work in the world has been the cornerstone of our mission at CitizenRacecar right from the beginning, and every year for Giving Tuesday we like to take the opportunity to highlight the amazing nonprofits we’ve have had the pleasure of working with in the past year.
Here are (in alphabetical order) seven amazing organization that need and deserve your support!
ALS Association
-
- Every day, 15 more people in the US are diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, which causes devastating deterioration of the motor neurons in the brain and spine. The ALS Association has worked for decades at the forefront of research and advocacy on behalf of people around the country living with ALS and their families.
We were proud to welcome ALSA as a client this past summer, taking over production of their excellent weekly podcast series, Connecting ALS.

The voice of America’s coastlines–some of the most rich and important ecosystems in the world–the Littoral Society provides advocacy, education, and boots-on-the-ground shoreline restoration that helps the plants, animals, and people who live on our shorelines not only survive but thrive.
We’ve been working with ALS for more than a year now on a really exciting video project that we hope to be able to announce publicly in the new year!
