When community partners band together, area nonprofits win.
A recent example is the announcement by the Marietta Community Foundation that its Nonprofit Challenge is now open to all Washington County nonprofits; and because of its partnership with Superior Toyota Hyundai, there is now $30,000 up for grabs. That’s a $10,000 increase over last year, and it’s hard to overestimate the value of that kind of community involvement.
Between Nov. 1 and 16, a Penny War will allow donors to deposit money into participating nonprofits’ jugs at the Community Foundation at 100 Putnam St., Marietta.
In addition to first through fifth place awards, there will also be awards for First Friday Donor’s Choice, Superior’s Choice – Best Decorated Jug and recognition for Most Donors on National Philanthropy Day, Most Bills Collected and Most Online Donations.
All funds raised will be donated to the Community Impact Fund, which pools community support to award funding to nonprofits benefiting Washington County.
It is a fantastic and fun way for the community to support its favorite nonprofits. (And, let’s be honest, they all do incredible work). But this is certainly a good opportunity to support their favorites.
Organizations should not miss the chance to sign up; and donors should take advantage of the competition to help multiply the good.
