Don't forget on Tuesday, August 2nd from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., you can make an online donation to as many of your favorite nonprofits as you want by logging on to www.ErieGives.org. Then, The Erie Community Foundation will enhance each of your gifts by providing a pro-rated match to each gift made to each nonprofit. The Foundation will divide a total of $75,000 among the participating nonprofits. The more a nonprofit raises the more of the pro-rated match of the $75,000 the nonprofit will receive.
“The goals of Erie Gives are to encourage philanthropy to a younger generation of donors, to increase online giving and utilization of social media, to provide added value to members of The Nonprofit Partnership and to help celebrate our 75th Anniversary,” said Mike Batchelor, president of The Erie Community Foundation.
Nonprofits must be members of the Nonprofit Partnership. The minimum gift is $25. No checks will be accepted.
Erie Gives Day is modeled after similar philanthropic days in Pittsburgh and Minnesota. The Erie Gives Day platform serves as a unique vehicle for nonprofits to showcase their work in the community. More than 200 local nonprofits are eligible because they are members of the Nonprofit Partnership.
