What gives: Small ways to help neighborhood nonprofits

Go to a folk concert …

… and help those less fortunate. Every Friday night, Uncle Calvin’s Coffeehouse hosts acclaimed folk musicians who travel from all over to play at the intimate nonprofit venue housed inside Northpark Presbyterian Church, 9555 N. Central. Admission is $12-$25 depending on the artist, and all proceeds go to organizations that help the hungry in Dallas, including the Stew Pot and North Dallas Shared Ministries. To see this month’s music calendar and purchase tickets, visit unclecalvins.org or call 214.363.0044.

Get up and give …

… to the neighborhood charity of your choice. Donorbridgetx.org launches its third annual Get Up and Give! North Texas Giving Day 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Sept. 15 with $500,000 in matching funds and prizes. Several local nonprofits are participating in the event, including Arc of Dallas, The Cooper Institute, Dallas International School and the Jewish Community Center, just to name a few. Log on to cftexas.org and search for any nonprofit by name, address or zip code.
