SAVE THE DATE: GIVEBIG ON MAY 15, 2013
GROW YOUR GIFT
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.
Each credit card donation* made to the more than 1,400 nonprofit organizations
profiled 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.
WIN A GOLDEN TICKET
Throughout GiveBIG, donors will be chosen at random from all donations made up
to the time of the drawing. The winner will have an additional $1,000 and a pair
of round-trip airline tickets, courtesy of Alaska Airlines, given in their name
to the same nonprofit that received their donation. The winner will also receive
a $100 gift card, courtesy of our lead sponsor, Starbucks!
