Thursday, February 2 12:00am-11:59pm alabamagivesday.org SHOALS– The Alabama Association of Nonprofits, in partnership with the Alabama Broadcasters Association and the Razoo Foundation, is taking one day, February 2, to harness the power of individual contributions statewide. Alabama Gives Day will connect new and existing donors with thousands of Alabama nonprofits through a simple one day online giving process from 12am- 11:59pm Thursday.

Alabama media will join together in this effort in hopes of raising record amounts in gifts for charities.

When presented with a new way to give online, communities in other states have overwhelmingly shown their support through record giving levels. This year Colorado Gives Day raised $12 million for Colorado nonprofits. While the immediate benefit is huge, the ripple effects of giving have helped spur other philanthropic endeavors in other states.

HOW DOES ALABAMA GIVES DAY WORK?

On February 2 go to www.alabamagivesday.org, and choose to make a gift to one or more of the hundreds of participating nonprofits, preferrably those in our community.

“Never before has an event of this magnitude taken place in our state, said Russell A. Jackson, Alabama Gives Day Manager for the Alabama Association of Nonprofits. “This will be a defining moment for Alabama nonprofits participating in the event. The impact will be felt far and wide.”

Nonprofits eligible to participate must have 501(c) (3) status from the IRS.
