MANSFIELD – Richland Gives, an online day of giving, is set for Nov. 29 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The day is designed to encourage everyone to contribute to local nonprofits they care about through a single giving platform/website. The Richland County Foundation is hosting the day to build capacity, grow philanthropy and make the community stronger.
The day of giving will allow Richland County nonprofit organizations to raise funds and awareness as well as cultivate new donors and reinvigorate lapsed donors.
Thanks to the generosity of donors at the Richland County Foundation, incentives will be awarded as grants to participating organizations, beyond what they raise from online donations.
A $1,000 grant to the first 40 nonprofit organizations that raise at least $1,000 online via the Richland Gives website on November 29, 2016, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
A $500 grant to the first 10 organizations that increase Richland Gives online donations by 30% compared to 2015. To be eligible, a nonprofit must have raised at least $500 in 2015 during Richland Gives to participate in this grant offering.
In addition grants will be awarded to the nonprofits that raise the most during the day.
Richland Gives registration is open until October 31. It is free for Richland County based nonprofit organizations at richlandgives.org.
