Community Foundations Score Big With Give Local Day May 6

All across the country May 6, community foundations, in celebration of the 100-year anniversary of the nation’s first community foundation, ran “Give Local” 24-hour campaigns to bring donations to area nonprofits. The homegrown campaigns largely took place online but included challenge grants and other incentives, contests and community events. In total, according to the Give Local website, 310,977 gifts were given across approximately 80 cities (this number varies in differing accounts) for a total of more than $51.6 million.
