At CitizenRacecar, our mission has always revolved around uplifting those who make a positive impact in the world. In that spirit, this Giving Tuesday we’re shining a spotlight on the remarkable nonprofits that we’ve had the pleasure of working with throughout the last year. Without further ado, here are ten remarkable organizations (in alphabetical order) truly deserving of 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’re proud to have continued our work on the podcast Connecting ALS this year, a show that provides insight and community for those affected by ALS.

This past year we worked with the American Littoral Society on a video project about a community-based restoration project to protect Barnegat Bay.
