Make Yourself Known!
- It's easy! Simply input your organizations information into our new service - The NonProfit Directory. Click here for step by step directions.
- The NonProfit Directory (NPD) characterizes AGM's Nonprofit Partners by mission, service focus, population, and geographic focus.
The NPD provides a searchable database so that AGM's Grantmaking
Members can search for and locate nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit
Partners will also be able to search the database.
- Be the first in your neighborhood to add your organization's information!!
Nonprofit organizations must be an AGM Nonprofit Partner to be included in the NPD.

Friends of AGM Special Discounts
We would like to forward a message from Reebok:
Dear Massachusetts Youth Organization Staff Member,
Reebok has always understood that we have a responsibility to our community and to being a responsible, leading corporate citizen. It is in this spirit that we created the
"Reebok Recognition Program", an initiative designed to recognize and salute those who make a real difference in our community.
The Reebok World Headquarters, which is located in Canton, MA, includes a Reebok Concept Store. The Concept Store is open to Reebok employees and invited guests only and boasts the widest selection of the latest Reebok, Rockport and Greg Norman Collection footwear, apparel and accessories available anywhere. Everything in the store can be purchased at a 50% discount off the suggested retail price.
To show our sincere appreciation for those who devote their lives to working with young people, Reebok would like to offer the staff of Massachusetts non-profit organizations who work exclusively with youth, and their immediate family members, the opportunity to visit our Headquarters during the week of November 12th through November 17th and shop at 50% off the suggested retail price.
In addition, all who participate will be entered into a drawing and have the opportunity to win great prizes such as tickets to N. E. Patriots, Bruins and Celtics games. One winner will also have a donation made in their name to the youth charity of their choice among a list of Reebok's designated charities.
Attached is an electronic invitation and directions to Reebok. Your invitation serves as your "ticket" to enter Reebok Headquarters.
Thank you for all you do in our community. We hope to see you at Reebok.
