Submitted information on the upcoming GAgives fundraiser that benefits a number of non-profits, including the Good Mews Animal Foundation and the Tommy Nobis Center of East Cobb:
GAgives on GivingTuesday, the record-setting fundraising event for our state’s nonprofits, returns this Tuesday, December 1st, as part of the international generosity movement that culminates each year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
Just like the communities they serve, Georgia nonprofits are in greater need than ever. Fortunately, Georgians are poised to make a difference: During our COVID-relief event this spring, 7,260 individuals jumped in on short notice to contributing a total of more than $1.2 Million.
Every dollar can make a difference, from providing free food in an economic crunch to caring for seniors in a time of extreme vulnerability to rescuing animals, preserving the arts and the environment, educating our children, and much more. There are thousands of nonprofits taking part in this year’s initiative, including many based in and serving Metro Atlanta communities.
As always, this event is hosted by the Georgia Center for Nonprofits and a range of corporate and media partners (see below). Once again, a range of sponsors have funded prizes for the nonprofits with the most unique donors over the full day and during designated “power hours,” helping nonprofits engage their supporters’ competitive spirit – another way that every dollar makes a difference.
