The Big Give Boosts the Center
Nov. 16, 2011- Friends and supporters of The Childhood League Center responded in a big way to the Big Give, a unique 24-hour giving opportunity organized by the Columbus Foundation.
With $1 million in matching funds available, the grant-giving foundation called on local donors to support non-profits in the area during a 24-hour on-line window beginning on Nov. 10.
During the event, donors helped raise an impressive $32,323, including matching funds, to benefit the Center’s early intervention and education programs and services covered in the $2.5 million operating budget.
The Big Give raised $8,704,303 overall for 499 organizations profiled in the Foundation’s PowerPhilanthropy on-line database. There were a total of 13,430 transactions received during the 24-hour giving period from 670 cities. A grant covered all credit card fees, ensuring every donor dollar would go to the intended recipient.
While The Childhood League Center has been notified of the total amount raised, the Columbus Foundation has yet to release complete donor information, including names and amounts, but plans to do so before the end of the year.
