Nonprofits can learn more and register to participate before the registration deadline on April 28
Registration for GiveBIG, Washington’s largest online giving campaign, opened to nonprofits on February 23. More than 50 southwest Washington nonprofits have already signed up for the event, which is replacing Give More 24! — a local online giving day created by the Community Foundation for Southwest Washington.
Give More 24! gave nonprofits in Clark, Cowlitz and Skamania Counties an easy way to raise awareness and funds online. Janie Spurgeon, executive vice president and chief development officer at the Community Foundation, said that beyond being duplicative of other events, Give More 24! had also accomplished its goals, including the resulting impact of helping nonprofits raise more than $15 million over nine years.
“Our hope was to develop nonprofit capacity around online fundraising, and the nonprofits involved are now using digital tools in ways we couldn’t have imagined,” Spurgeon said. “We know changing events is a big shift for everyone involved, but we’re confident that our nonprofits have the skills and understanding to find similar successes, along with exciting new opportunities, in GiveBIG.”
GiveBIG provides the same opportunities as Give More 24! but with more features, broader reach and year-round support. The Community Foundation for Southwest Washington partnered with 501 Commons, the organization that operates GiveBIG, to discuss these features during its GiveBIG SW Washington Virtual Gathering on March 22. The presentation touched on GiveBIG benefits, registration, key dates, nonprofit resources and training, and regional plans for the statewide campaign.
GiveBIG is scheduled for May 2-3. Nonprofits can learn more and register to participate at GiveBIG website before the registration deadline on April 28. Nonprofits pay a sliding scale fee to register, which provides year-round access to the fundraising platform, tools, training and resources that can assist nonprofits in building online fundraising campaigns.
