The Seattle Foundation's GiveBIG is a one-day, online charitable giving event to inspire people to give generously to nonprofit organizations who make our region a healthier and more vital place to live. People from any city, any state, any country may participate to support BlackPast.org's important work, which knows no physical boundaries!
Each credit card donation* made to BlackPast.org (and 1400 other worthy non-profits listed on The Seattle Foundation's website) between midnight and midnight (Pacific Daylight Time) on Wednesday, May 15, 2013, will receive a prorated portion of the matching funds (or "stretch") pool. The amount of the "stretch" depends on the size of the stretch pool and how much is raised in total donations on GiveBIG day. So, number of donors and number of dollars make a difference! The link to BlackPast.org's donation page for that day is HERE.
* The Seattle Foundation will "stretch" all donations up to $25,000 per donor, per organization.
The key here to getting the "stretch" dollars, is that donors must make a contribution to BlackPast.org during the specified time and via The Seattle Foundation. The link to BlackPast.org's donation page for that day is HERE.
BlackPast.org is always grateful to supporters and your donation on this particular day takes on added weight due to the "stretch" as well as the additional awareness and publicity about our organization that this campaign generates. The link to BlackPast.org's donation page for that day is HERE.
