Arizona Gives Day 2016 Breaks Donation Records
Arizona Gives Day is a grassroots, statewide day of giving that invited Arizonans to donate to their favorite causes during a 24-hour period on April 5, 2016. So far, this year’s Gives Day raised a record-breaking $2.6 million for nonprofits across our state.
This is a 30% increase over 2015 and this percentage is likely to grow, as the total is still being tallied to include matching grants and other offline donations.
Hosted by The Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits and Arizona Grantmakers Forum and presented by FirstBank, Arizona Gives Day 2016 has raised at least $7.2 million for Arizona nonprofits since its founding in 2013.
Arizonans from across our state donated on April 5, helping a variety of nonprofits of every size to win additional prize money. Participating nonprofits included large and small organizations focused on animal welfare, the arts, child welfare, human rights and more. This year, there were 21,129 total donations from 16,450 donors. The average donation was $114.
During the 24-hour day of giving, nonprofits encouraged their supporters to donate on azgives.org to help them win prize money based on fundraising success. During six “Power Hours,” nonprofits jockeyed for the largest number of total donors giving at or above a set dollar amount.
