Prescheduled giving for the Community Foundation's Brazos Valley Gives Day is now open. Brazos Valley’s first annual Brazos Valley Gives Day has more than 100 nonprofits taking part in the community-wide day of giving. Donors simply log on to www.brazosvalleygives.org and make a gift to a participating nonprofit of their choice. Prescheduled giving will last until Oct. 21. The actual giving day is Tuesday, Oct. 22.
Bryan Broadcasting, Insite, KBTX, Eagle, and Lamar Advertising are partnering with Brazos Valley Gives to ensure the community is aware and ready for the big day, which supports nonprofits in the 7-county region. CC Creations, Newman Printing, and Copy Corner have also supported with publicity needs.
“Prescheduled giving makes it easy for the donor to ensure their gift is ready to go for the big day. Those gifts are just the spark that the nonprofit needs to build their momentum leading up to Brazos Valley Gives,” stated Molly Watson, media and marketing chair.
Brazos Valley Gives is 18 hours of online giving that brings the region together on one day and as one community to raise critical funding and awareness for nonprofit organizations throughout the Brazos Valley. Powered by the Community Foundation, Brazos Valley Gives will provide citizens and businesses an easy platform to support the mission and “good works” of local nonprofit organizations that serve the Brazos Valley. This first-year pilot will focus on Bryan College Station nonprofits. However, nonprofits from throughout the Brazos Valley are invited to participate. Brazos Valley Gives will empower individual donors and business leaders to come together to support causes close to their hearts — and, on this day, everyone can be a philanthropist.
All donations will pass through directly to the donor’s charity(ies) of choice. The goal for Brazos Valley Gives is $500,000.
