Help your favorite charities and foundations in the 2019 Omaha Gives! Event
Since Pets in Omaha has been around, it’s been active in promoting the wonderful, online giving period that is Omaha Gives! This 24-hour fundraiser always proves important for area shelters, rescues, and animal advocacy groups, so we’re eager to tell you how you can participate in 2019! For donors, see the information below! And if you can’t donate, visit omahagives.org to see what you can do to spread the word (like use the Omaha Gives social media banners to raise awareness)!
What is Omaha Gives!?
Omaha Gives! is a year-round online giving platform organized by the Omaha Community Foundation to grow philanthropy in Douglas, Sarpy, and Pottawattamie counties. Each year, there is a 24-hour online giving event in May to celebrate nonprofits. This year’s giving day will take place on Wednesday, May 22, 2019. The goal is to inspire the community to come together for 24-hours to give as much as possible to support the work of public 501(c)(3) nonprofits in the metro area. The minimum donation is $10 and there is no maximum. Prizes and challenge funds amplify charitable donations to make each dollar go further. Search profiles of participating nonprofits and track progress during the event on our leaderboard. Last year, the community raised over $7.8 million for local nonprofits. You can schedule your donation anytime in May, but the 24-hour official period is on May 22.
