What is Omaha Gives?

Omaha Gives! is a 24-hour online giving event organized by the Omaha Community Foundation to grow philanthropy in Douglas, Sarpy, and Pottawattamie counties. 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 501c3 nonprofits in the metro area. The minimum donation is $10 and there is no maximum. Bonus dollars and prizes amplify charitable donations to make each dollar go further. Search profiles of participating nonprofits and track progress during the event on our leaderboard. All donations will be processed through this website. In order to participate, nonprofits must meet our eligibility requirements and are required to register by February 19, 2016. For more details, please read the Frequently Asked Questions. For questions regarding credit card donations, contact a member of our finance team: melisa@omahafoundation.organdrew@omahafoundation.org, or yvette@omahafoundation.org.
