March 5 is Fairfield County’s second annual Giving Day. The goal is to raise $1 million in 24 hours through online donations to 300 local nonprofit organizations.
Giving Day was initiated last year by Fairfield County’s Community Foundation with the goal to encourage individuals, families, companies, clubs and groups to “give where you live.” This effort is sponsored by Bank of America.
In just 24 hours last year, more than 9,000 people donated over $750,000 to 267 nonprofits serving Fairfield County!
As Marketing Committee Chairperson of Danbury Animal Welfare Society (DAWS) in Bethel, CT, I encourage everyone age 18 and over to visit FCGives.org on March 5 and give to any of the registered nonprofits—including DAWS!
A donation as little as $10 makes a difference. Each donation adds up and can help nonprofits win over $20,000 in cash prizes. Please set a reminder to visit FCGives.org on March 5 and give to your favorite local nonprofits. Please consider giving to DAWS and help us raise at least $5,000 to help us make much-needed shelter repairs.
