One Valley Community Foundation Hosts 7th Annual Give Big on May 6th and 7th
Gallatin County nonprofit registration deadline to participate is March 15th
Gallatin County, MT- On May 6th and 7th from 6:00pm to 6:00pm, One Valley Community Foundation will host the 7th annual Give Big Gallatin Valley initiative. Give Big is a 24-hour celebration that raises critical funds for nonprofits located in or serving Gallatin County. The initiative is designed to connect donors to the nonprofits they care most about and raise unrestricted funding to support their work. Over the past seven years, our community has come together to raise nearly $6 million through more than 25,000 gifts for over 195 local nonprofits during Give Big. Last year alone, 5,782 generous donors raised over $1.8 million for 195 nonprofits.
Nonprofits located in or serving Gallatin Valley who want to participate in Give Big 2021 must register at www.GiveBigGV.org between February 2nd and March 15th. To help nonprofits be successful during Give Big, One Valley Community Foundation will host a series of four educational webinars leading up to the event. These webinars are intended to support participating nonprofits by providing important tools that nonprofits can use beyond Give Big to support their organizations.
This year, One Valley’s goal is to inspire 7,000 donors in our community to donate to their favorite nonprofits in Gallatin County in 24 hours. With the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, many nonprofits have had to cancel important fundraising events, increase service, make decisions to furlough staff, reduce salaries, and suspend income-generating programs. Because of this, nonprofits need our support now more than ever. To help us reach our goal and provide these organizations with much-needed support, we are teaming up with Yellowstone Club Community Foundation to encourage our community to give big on May 6th & 7th.
“The Yellowstone Club Community Foundation is honored to support Give Big again this year. Give Big highlights the importance of philanthropy while also showcasing the impact of nonprofits doing vital work in our community,” said Jacque Poertner, Associate Director of the Yellowstone Club Community Foundation. “This online event encourages collaboration and enables participation from individuals and groups throughout Gallatin County and provides a platform for the Yellowstone Club to showcase our commitment to nonprofits in the Big Sky and greater Gallatin Valley.”
