GiveNOLA Day is Coming

 

In order to balance budgets and continue to fund their programs, most nonprofit executive directors, along with their development directors, eagerly await GiveNOLA Day. From helping animal welfare to youth development, the funds raised during this 24-hour period are critical to creating a thriving community for all.

This year, GiveNOLA Day occurs on Tuesday, May 4. It is presented by Baptist Community Ministries and once again hosted by the Greater New Orleans Foundation.

GiveNOLA Day brings new donors to local nonprofits and demonstrates that everyone can be a philanthropist. Anyone can make a tax-deductible donation to a nonprofit that has created a profile on GiveNOLA.org. The minimum gift is $10 and there is no maximum size or number of donations you can make. All individual donations go directly to the nonprofit except for nominal processing and credit card fees.

Every dollar donated from 12:01a.m. to midnight on GiveNOLA.org will be stretched with additional “lagniappe” dollars provided by the Greater New Orleans Foundation and GiveNOLA Day sponsors.

Sponsorship is our region’s greatest opportunity to help hundreds of nonprofits with a single gift. When our businesses join with people of our region, their giving is amplified for its greatest impact. Contact Natasha Walker for more information at (504) 598-4663 or email natasha@gnof.org
