Bozeman Area Community Foundation Hosts Fourth Annual Give Big on May 3rd and 4th
Simplify your giving. Amplify your impact. Give Big!
Gallatin County, MT – On May 3rd and 4th from 6pm-6pm, The Bozeman Area Community Foundation will host the fourth annual Give Big Gallatin Valley initiative, a 24-hour celebration of giving to local nonprofits in Gallatin County! This year, the Bozeman Area Community Foundation’s goal is to inspire 4,000 donors to raise $1,000,000 in 24-hours for 192 nonprofits from communities throughout Gallatin County. The participating organizations represent a wide variety of missions that support arts to trails, education to basic needs and much more. Since its inception in 2015, Give Big has helped our community raise over $1,370,000 for 168 nonprofits throughout Gallatin County.
“We are humbled by the outpouring of support for our local nonprofit community during Give Big. Without our hard-working nonprofit partners, generous community members and local businesses, this initiative simply would not be possible! We have a big goal this year but we believe that with each of us pitching in, we can reach it!” said Bridget Wilkinson, Executive Director for the Bozeman Area Community Foundation.
This year, Give Big will start the giving fun with a Kickoff Party at the Bozeman Taproom (101 N. Rouse Ave, Bozeman) from 5:30pm - 7:30pm on Thursday, May 3rd and wrap up the initiative with a Finale Celebration to thank all participating donors from 5:00pm-7:00pm at the Baxter Hotel (105 W. Main St. Bozeman) on Friday, May 4th. Both events are free and open to all community members!
Additionally, there will be Donor Lounges, live locations where donors can go and give, hosted by many local nonprofits during the 24-hour celebration. These Donor Lounges will be located throughout the county in coffee shops, restaurants, gyms, bookstores and more! To find a complete list of Donor Lounge events during Give Big, please go to https://www.givebiggv.org/info/events.
“Nonprofit organizations play a vital role in building healthy communities by providing critical services that often fill the gaps where the business and government sectors cannot serve. Give Big is a celebration of all of the invaluable donors who support this thriving nonprofit community!” said Bridget Wilkinson, Executive Director for the Bozeman Area Community Foundation.
