GiveBig Day – May 2

April 12th, 2012

Click here to donate to the South Park Area Redevelopment Committee: Donate NOW!

Your first chance to support your South Park neighborhood non-profit SPARC during our first fund-raiser is GiveBig Day, Wednesday, May 2.

  • How does GiveBIG work?
    All donations made to SPARC through The Seattle Foundation’s website on GiveBIG day will receive a pro-rated portion of a $500,000 matching funds (or “stretch”) pool. The amount of the “stretch” depends on how much is raised in total donations on GiveBIG day. For example, if SPARC receives 1 percent of the total donations during GiveBIG, then we will receive 1 percent of the stretch pool. Last year, a $10 donation resulted in $11.40. We won’t know how much gifts will be “stretched” this year because it depends on the total raised.
  • When is GiveBIG?
    GiveBIG will take place on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 from midnight to midnight, Pacific Time. » keep reading »
