The CFNRV and generous sponsors will give away more than $24,000 in incentive grants and prizes to charitable organizations during this year’s GiveLocalNRV Giving Day. This year’s Giving Day will be held from noon on Wednesday, June 25 to noon on Thursday, June 26. Hosted by the CFNRV, this event harnesses the generosity of the New River Valley (NRV) community by raising funds and awareness for charitable organizations serving our region.
The 29 grants and prizes range in value from $500 to $1,500. They help fuel the excitement of the event, offering donors the potential for their gift to go farther by helping their favorite organization win additional funds. These incentives are made possible by lead event sponsors National Bank of Blacksburg and the Cranwell Family Foundation, as well as Olio Financial Planning, Automation Creations, Inc., Locus, and Brown Insurance.
Since 2014, this event has raised more than $4.3 million for organizations serving the NRV. Each year, the online event drives thousands of donors to givelocalnrv.org, where they can learn about dozens of organizations and support those organizations with an online gift of $5 or more. Early giving for the event starts on June 1 and culminates in a 24-hour period of giving.
Organizations classified as 501(c)3 by the IRS or units of government (i.e. libraries, animal shelters, etc.) that serve the NRV in the counties of Floyd, Giles, Montgomery, Pulaski, and Wythe as well as the City of Radford, are eligible to participate in the giving day. More than 100 organizations are already signed up for this year’s event. These organizations work in a wide range of areas, including animal welfare, arts and culture, education, the environment, health, poverty, and much more.
The deadline for organizations to sign up for this year’s event is Thursday, May 1. Learn more and sign up at givelocalnrv.org.
