Participating nonprofits can earn cash prizes in addition to the donations given online by individual donors from 12 a.m. until midnight on Tuesday, May 5, 2015.
Examples of the incentive prizes include a $10,000 grand prize to the nonprofit that raises the most money and another $10,000 grand prize for the nonprofit with the most unique donors. Each hour for 24 hours, $1,000 will be awarded at random to participating nonprofits — this year two nonprofits will win $500 each hour.
“The bonus contests throughout the day drive the excitement and provide the opportunity for the 155 participating local nonprofits raise even more money to support their missions,” said Lisa Biever, director of Donor Services for The Community Foundation.
The Community Foundation does not charge donors or nonprofits to participate. The company processing the online donations charges an industry standard transaction fee.
The Community Foundation ensures that all donors will receive an immediate thank you and a receipt for 100 percent of their donation.
Donations to any of the participating nonprofits may be made online at www.thecommunitygive.org.
