HOW TO MAKE DONATIONS TO PARTICIPATING CHARITIES - Giving Hearts Day

HOW TO MAKE DONATIONS TO PARTICIPATING CHARITIES

Last year, our community gave $26.2 million to charities for Giving Hearts Day! Your financial gift of $10 or more makes a huge difference to those in need.

Organizations can choose to give their financial gift directly to the participating charity(ies) starting when scheduled giving opens at the beginning of January through the end of the day February 8, 2024 (Giving Hearts Day). Gifts can be made via check, through an online donation at GivingHeartsDay.org, or by being a generous match dollar donor to a charity.

GET INSPIRED

Bell Bank has their Pay it Forward program, where employees are given dollars to help someone. Many choose to donate their gift on GHD!

Zerr Berg Architects & Gehrtz Construction Services host a fundraising contest, the more dollars raised, the more days one of their partners has to do a crazy activity!

Mojo Fit Studios has classes that fundraise for GHD charities which brings clients and employees together to make a difference.

FAQ's

Absolutely! In fact, we prefer you do this to establish a relationship with the amazing charity(ies) you selected to give a financial gift to. If your check is to the charity and in their hands by Giving Hearts Day, it will be counted as a GHD gift. (Just be sure that you “sign up” as a 2024 Giving Hearts Business so that we can include you!)

Absolutely! When you visit GivingHeartsDay.org, you simply click on the red “Donate” button in the upper right-hand corner of the page to start your donation process. Selected a charity, enter your amount, and add to cart. There is a field as you check out where you can enter in the name of your business.

Absolutely! The sky is the limit on what you can do with joyful fundraising events at your organization. We’ve seen businesses do raffles for community event tickets, coordinate jeans/casual apparel days where donations go to charity, bake sales, chili cookoffs, and more. Bring some fun to the work day and do GOOD in the community through hosting a fundraising event.

Being a match dollar donor for a charity is a great way to participate as a business. Charities each raise $3,000 minimum in matching dollars ahead of Giving Hearts Day so that the community dollars go further by being matched. Your financial gift can make this happen! Simply contact the charity(ies) of your choice between Sept and January and start the conversation. 

Your gift will be greatly appreciated; however, it will not be counted towards Giving Hearts Day totals. All donations need to be received by midnight on February 8, 2024.
