Reader's Digest Foundation to Donate $1 Million Based on Inspiring Stories from the Public

The Reader's Digest Foundation has announced that it will donate a total of $1 million to nonprofit organizations through a new initiative called "Make it Matter."

Grants will be inspired by individuals who are taking action and giving back to their communities in significant ways. Every month, the foundation will select one individual's story of good deeds done and grant $100,000 to a nonprofit organization in honor of that individual. Reader's Digest magazine will then feature that person in its new column, "Make it Matter."

Submissions for "Make it Matter" will be accepted by the foundation on a rolling basis throughout 2008.

To learn more about the program and submitting a story, visit the foundation's Web site.
