Through an initiative called Make it Matter, the Reader's Digest Foundation is donating $1 million to worthy causes over a one-year period. Each month, the Foundation selects someone who is giving back in a significant way and awards $100,000 to a nonprofit organization in honor of that individual. Get inspired by the honorees and submit an individual or group for consideration.
