Bozeman Area Community Foundation Hosts Annual Give Big Gallatin Valley on May 3rd and 4th
Gallatin County nonprofit registration deadline to participate is March 30th.
Bozeman, MT – On May 3rd and 4th from 6pm-6pm, The Bozeman Area Community Foundation will host the fourth annual Give Big Gallatin Valley day, a 24-hour celebration of giving to local nonprofits in Gallatin County! This year, the Community Foundation’s goal is to inspire 4,000 donors in our community to raise $1,000,000 in 24-hours for 150 local nonprofits. To help us reach our largest goal yet, we are so grateful to have a $25,000 headline sponsorship from the Yellowstone Club Community Foundation.
Give Big is designed to connect new donors to local causes - and to raise unrestricted money to support their work! In just three years, our community has raised 1.3 million dollars in funding through 10,000 gifts for over 160 local nonprofits during Give Big.
To launch our $1,000,000 goal, the Bozeman Area Community Foundation will be hosting a Give Big Launch Happy Hour on February 28th from 5 - 7 pm at the Rialto Light Box. There will be incentives for nonprofits that attend, drinks, and a short program about the initiative.
The deadline for nonprofit registration to participate in Give Big 2018 is March 30th. Nonprofits located in and serving Gallatin County can go to www.GiveBigGV.org to register to participate! The Bozeman Area Community Foundation will be hosting free webinars and in-person trainings for registered Give Big nonprofit participants leading up to Give Big.
“It is a wonderful, community-building event to build enthusiasm for the amazing nonprofits that support our community,” said Britt Ide, Executive Director of the Yellowstone Club Community Foundation. “ The Yellowstone Club Community Foundation is delighted to be a presenting sponsor of Give Big Gallatin Valley! Our sponsorship allows us to support all the nonprofits, encourage education for nonprofits on online platforms and fundraising, engage new and younger (online-savvy!) donors and be part of a fun day that supports the life-changing work of local nonprofit organizations.”
