  Exciting News

  The Shenandoah Community Foundation will match up to $5,000. in #GivingTuesday Donations

   Are you Ready for #GivingTuesday?

  Let's get inspired and collaborate for the best #GivingTuesday yet!
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  DEC 3

  
  

  Participation Requirements:

  • Only Chamber Nonprofit Members in good standing are eligible to participate. Your organization must be an IRS recognized 501c3 nonprofit.
  • Participating nonprofits must register with the Chamber by Friday, Nov 1st
  • Participating nonprofits must have an online specific donor portal (donations received by checks will be included, but only those received on #GivingTuesday will be counted. Having an online donation button is essential to this campaign's success, along with your success)
  • Documentation on the donated funds received on #GivingTuesday (Tuesday, Dec 3rd, 2024, 7am - 6pm) will be required and submitted to the Chamber by COB Wednesday, Dec 11th.
  • Matching funds will be distributed amongst as many Nonprofit organizations as possible. (i.e. If a nonprofit raises $5,000 on #GT the entire matching fund gift will not go to that single nonprofit).
  • Nonprofits will receive their matching donation directly from the Shenandoah Community Foundation

  
  

  Did You Know?

  The highest peaks in donor traffic to fundraising sites on #GivingTuesday is between the hours of 7-8 a.m., and again about 10-11 a.m. After that early morning peak, traffic remains steady until about 6 p.m. and then tapers off.  

  What’s the takeaway? It’s worth it to ensure your marketing efforts coordinate with peak donor activity times on #GivingTuesday! 

  
  

  Here's some ideas to get you started:

  Harnessing the Power of People on GivingTuesday

  
  Run a Peer to Peer Campaign. People give to people, not to organizations. P2P is such an effective way to leverage the power of your supporters to help you acquire new donors and expand your network on #GivingTuesday. 
  
  Ask Your Supporters to Share Their Story. Video testimonials make for great content, plus they inspire more generosity. 
  
  Create a Day of Action. Most people participate in #GivingTuesday in more than one way. Create opportunities for people to rally for your mission in other ways besides just giving money, whether that's creating volunteer opportunities, encouraging them to give goods, skills or voice to your cause.
