It’s that time of year, time to GiveBIG to your favorite Seattle-area nonprofit and have that donation matched by the Seattle Foundation. Many Queen Anne area nonprofits are participating, so it’s a great chance to support a local non=profit and have your dollars go even further via a stretch pool:

“All donations made through Seattle Foundation’s new GiveBIG website, hosted by Kimbia, will receive a percentage of the matching funds (or “stretch”) pool. This percentage depends on the size of the stretch pool and how much is raised in total donations on GiveBIG day. In 2014, the stretch pool was $1,000,000 and the total amount of stretch-eligible donations was $12,800,000. The stretch percentage worked out to 8.3% (or approximately 8 cents on the dollar).”

The Seattle Foundation will “stretch” all donations up to $2,500 per donor, per organization. And, you can donate to more than one organization, the Seattle Foundation allows donors to give up to 30 organizations in a single transaction. The one-day online charitable giving event, GiveBIG raises money for nonprofits, and you can donate from now up until Tuesday, May 3rd to have your dollars matched.

Here’s a selection of Queen Anne nonprofits that are participating this year:

  • Queen Anne Helpline
  • Queen Anne Food Bank
  • Queen Anne Farmers Market
  • Queen Anne Historical Society
  • Picture Perfect Queen Anne
  • Seattle Center Foundation
