GiveNOLA Day, a day of charity support and fundraising, is approaching. In two weeks, participants can begin scheduling their gifts to their choice of organization at GiveNola.org. There are over 800 participating nonprofits in the Greater New Orleans area, and now more than ever, they need the community's help.
GiveNola Day is June 2 and is a 24-hour event presented by the
Greater New Orleans Foundation. The goal is to inspire people to donate to
nonprofits, in order to strengthen our city and create a thriving community for
everyone. The difficulties our community is enduring during the COVID-19 crisis
intensifies the need for nonprofit organizations to provide support for families
and individuals requiring assistance.
The Greater New Orleans Foundation was founded in 1983 and
has grown from $4 million to over $300 million in assets. Their support in the
community has played a main role in the region's recoveries from Hurricane
Katrina and the Gulf Coast oil spill. Last year, the organization raised over
five million dollars from over 50,000 donations from around the world. One of
the oldest and largest philanthropic organizations in the region, Greater New
Orleans Foundation is proud to be a main resource that gives back to the
community when in need.
Anyone can donate to a nonprofit organization that has a
profile on GiveNOLA.org with a minimum of $10. Credit and debit cards
accepted.
Now, during these stressful times filled with worry and
confusion for everyone, it is important to give back to our community if we can.
