What is a Giving Day?
GiveNOLA Day is a 24-hour, online giving event organized by the Greater New Orleans Foundation to ignite the giving community in Southeast Louisiana. The goal is to inspire the community to come together for 24 hours to contribute as many charitable dollars as possible to support the work of local nonprofit organizations. Last year’s event raised $4 million from 28,000+ donations across the nation. This year, we hope to do even more! GiveNOLA Day is based on other successful giving days hosted by community foundations across the country.
When will GiveNOLA Day take place?
It will be from 12:00:01 a.m. to 11:59:59 p.m. on May 2, 2017. All event-related donations must be made online during the 24-hour period.
Why give on May 2nd through GiveNOLA.org?
While we encourage you to support your local nonprofits with year-round giving, we are creating a special event on May 2 – a charitable holiday. It’s our day to celebrate the Greater New Orleans region's spirit of generosity and support the work of our nonprofits. Plus, your dollars during the 24-hour period will be amplified by proportional “lagniappe funds,” as well as possible awards and hourly prizes.
There are many wonderful organizations that would love to have your support. Here is just one that is dear to my heart.,,,,
