About #giveNNY
#giveNNY began in 2017 as a grassroots, community-based movement to unite tri-county nonprofits in a local day of giving on #GivingTuesday. The campaign, now entering its third year, kicks off Monday, Nov. 4, and culminates with a day of radio broadcast on Tunes 92.5 FM on the international #GivingTuesday, Dec. 3. This year, the event team has partnered with the Community Foundation to help grow the effort and expand its reach. For the first time, the Northern New York Community Foundation will double all gifts made, up to a total of $10,000.
In 2018, 14 nonprofits that serve residents of Jefferson, Lewis and St, Lawrence counties participated and were each awarded a share of money raised during the campaign. #giveNNY helps to unite the region’s nonprofit organizations through a collaborative effort that highlights the important work they collectively achieve, in partnership with donors, in the communities where we live.
The movement ensures every gift of every size can be combined for greater reach. It is also unique in that participating nonprofit organizations are as diverse as the region, including, but not limited to, sectors of human service, arts and cultural, environmental and educational.
