Give Local Missoula Description:
Get that Giving Feeling on May 3rd!
Missoula Community Foundation is excited to announce Give LOCAL Missoula County 2016, a 24-hour, online giving event. The giving day will tap into our community's passion for giving to bring together donors with local nonprofits. This is the third year of our campaign - in 2014 we raised $135,000 and in 2015 we more than doubled that and raised over $270,000 for local nonprofits. Give LOCAL is designed to engage first-time donors and donors under 40 while raising the profile of charitable giving in Missoula.

Local nonprofits' involvement in the event will give members of our community the chance to find and support an organization whose mission aligns with their passion, or to make an amplified impact to an organization they already support with the help of our Share Fund and Hourly Prizes.

Since our first event in 2014, the giving day spirit has spread throughout Montana. Last year Anaconda, the Flathead, Glendive, Gallatin Valley, Helena and Missoula raised $640,000 for Montana nonprofits in 24 hours. In 2016, Billings, Bitterroot
Valley, Columbus, Great Falls & Cascade County, Laurel and Miles City will join the team to help us raise $1Million for Montana in one day!

Our goal in Missoula is to raise $300,000 from 3000 people (including YOU) on May 3, 2016! With a minimum donation of only $10, it is easy to give back to your community--and you will feel so good.

GIVE AT A DONOR LOUNGE ON MAY 3RD AND GET FREEBIES!
Donor lounges will be set up all over Missoula on May 3rd to make giving fun! At each location, you'll find a table with helpful volunteers, computers and incentives for you to give! If you give at a Donor Lounge on May 3rd, local businesses will provide you with free treats-- what a win-win! So get out there, find a Lounge and give 'til it feels good for your community! Below you will find a list of Donor Lounge locations across town. All incentives are available while supplies last.
