Close to 70 nonprofit organizations are participating in Richland Gives this year on November 27th. Last year a community of donors contributed over $200,000 on the day of giving.
Richland Gives is designed to encourage everyone to support local nonprofits they care about through a single giving platform/website (Richland Gives.org.) The Richland County Foundation is hosting the day to build capacity, grow philanthropy and make the community stronger.
Thanks to the generosity of donors at the Richland County Foundation, $44,000 in incentives will be awarded as grants to nonprofit organizations participating in Richland Gives, beyond what they raise from online donations.
