But the true power of Erie Gives is its inclusive nature, where every gift, no matter how big or small, plays a significant role. Last year, 15% of Erie Gives gifts were less than $50. Since its inception in 2011, Erie Gives has demonstrated the power of collective giving. With donors contributing online at ErieGives.org, giving by check, or leveraging their required minimum distribution from their IRA, Erie Gives has raised over $48.3 million in its 12-year history.
Behind these numbers are the new relationships and connections that are made through Erie Gives. Erie Gives empowers donors to support causes that matter the most to them. Nonprofits can share their stories with new audiences and report to us an increase in new donors each year. That is long-term impact.
