Give Local Missoula County Starts at Midnight
Local and Statewide Day of Giving Coming up on May 3rd

May, 3rd, 2016 – Give Local Missoula County is a 24-hour online giving event presented by the Missoula Community Foundation. Kicking off at midnight and continuing all day on May 3rd, log onto GiveLocalMissoula.org and donate to one of or all of your favorite local nonprofits. With more than 130 nonprofits involved anyone can be a philanthropist by donating $10 or more. Donate by visiting GiveLocalMissoula.org, anytime on May 3rd. Or stop into one of our many Donor Lounges around town to make your donation with a Give Local community volunteer. You can find the list of Donor Lounges at www.givelocalmissoula.org. Give Local will be headquartered at the Florence Building from 8am-5pm.

Local nonprofits’ involvement in the event will give you the chance to find and support an organization whose mission aligns with your passion, or to make an amplified impact to an organization you already support with the help of our Share Fund and Hourly Prizes. We have raised $23,000 in incentive funds that will boost the impact of each dollar donated on May 3rd.

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 $1,000,000 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.

The Missoula Community Foundation connects people who care to causes that matter. Over the past fifteen years, the Foundation has given more than $650,000 to 135 projects, inspiring long-term local philanthropy to ensure the vitality of the Greater Missoula community.
