What is Cincinnati Gives? What is the goal?
The Cincinnati Gives Challenge is a friendly fund-raising competition where local charities compete to raise the most money with the top teams winning cash prizes from Cincinnati Magazine. This year, $35k is being given away to participating nonprofits! The Challenge runs from Monday, December 1 at 5 p.m. ET to Thursday, December 11 at 5 p.m. ET.
How does it work?
On December 1 at 5 p.m. ET, Cincinnati Magazine will host a 10-day giving event encouraging charitable donations through our online giving platform https://www.cincinnatigives.org.
Cincinnati Magazine will provide toolkits, training sessions, outreach support, mass media and social media coverage to make it easy for all nonprofits to participate. Each participating organization will have an individualized web page to promote their cause. This web page can also be used for year-round online fundraising.
Individuals will be able to donate money to the nonprofit organizations of their choice from December 1 through December 11. All donations are tax deductible and irrevocable. (Donations will not be refunded.) Donors will receive a receipt for their gift.
