Hosted on Tuesday, May 3rd by the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation, Give Local Piedmont is our community’s one-day, online giving event. The goal is to inspire people to give generously to the nonprofit organizations that are making our region stronger, creating a thriving community for all. This year there are 150 nonprofits registered to participate!
It’s our day to come together and have a big impact. Every dollar donated from midnight to midnight on May 3rd will be increased with $100,000 in additional “bonus” dollars generously provided by the PATH Foundation and $30,000 in prize dollars from sponsors. Last year, we raised $727,000 from 5,000+ donations around the nation!
Built on successful models from other cities, Give Local Piedmont raises money for the community, brings new donors and awareness to local nonprofits, and helps make our region a more vibrant place to live. Give Local Piedmont is tied to a national event called Give Local America where community foundations across America are asking their communities to give back on May 3, 2016.
How can I participate?
Individuals can make online donations to participating nonprofits by visiting www.givelocalpiedmont.org on May 3rd. The minimum donation is $10 and even a small donation will give your favorite nonprofit the opportunity to earn bonus dollars and monetary prizes.
