MyNorth Guide to Giving is an excellent resource for those interested in Northern Michigan nonprofits, and looking to donate or volunteer for a worthy cause. “Our mission is to offer an opportunity for readers to participate in the outstanding efforts being made to support children, families, and the environment in Northern Michigan,” says Traverse Magazine & MyNorth Media founder and editor in chief, Deborah Wyatt Fellows, “it’s an altogether powerful and moving publication”.
Fellows opens Guide to Giving with an Editor’s Note inspired by social scientist, Michael Norton’s TED talk, “How to Buy Happiness.” According to Norton, research shows that giving even a little to brighten someone’s day actually amplifies the giver’s happiness. Regardless of the amount of money or time one has to give, Guide to Giving makes it easy for one to have a positive impact. “Guide to Giving is a vital resource for anybody interested in giving to Northern Michigan,” notes Fellows.
