Give BIG today - maximize your charitable donation

GiveBIG Day - midnight to midnight (Pacific Daylight Time) on Wednesday, May 15, 2013

When you give to the organization of your choice on the Seattle Foundation website on May 15, the organization will receive a portion of matching funds from the Foundation and corporate sponsors' "stretch pool".  The amount of the "stretch" depends on the size of the stretch pool and how much is raised in total donations.

Naturally, the more that is donated to each group, the greater the match will be. 

The one day event aims to inspire people to give generously to nonprofit organizations which make our region a healthier and more vital place to live. 

The Starbucks Golden Ticket: throughout GiveBIG, donors will be chosen at random and an additional $1,000 will be given to the charity that received their donation. 

Dance companies, animal rescue groups and shelters, solar and environmental groups, the entire list is on the Seattle Foundation webpage.
