Friday, May 3, has been set as the date for the second annual Give Local York, a county-wide day of giving. During this year’s 24-hour online fundraising spree, community members may visit www.givelocalyork.org to make online donations to the nonprofit organizations of their choice. The inaugural Give Local York event in 2018 raised $1.47 million for 211 nonprofit organizations, exceeding its goal of raising $1 million for 200 organizations. “Because we have a successful one under our belt, we have momentum on our side (for the second annual give day),” said Meagan Given, executive director of Give Local York. “My general theme for this year is ‘Bigger and Better.’” Indeed, goals for York County’s second annual community-wide give day have been set at raising $3 million for 300 nonprofit groups. Given noted that there was a bit of a learning curve during last year’s inaugural event for organizers,

representatives of nonprofit organizations, and community members, and she is optimistic that the event will continue to grow as everyone becomes more familiar with the give day concept. She noted that as of the Jan. 18 deadline for early registration, there were already 175 nonprofit organizations signed up to participate in the 2019 event, including 35 organizations that were not involved in 2018. Given described Give Local York as a grassroots movement that is run by nonprofits for nonprofits. The event host is White Rose Leadership Institute, and organizers have drawn inspiration from give days in other communities, including Lancaster County’s Extraordinary Give. “We had a really great model to look at from Lancaster,” noted Given. During the online giving extravaganza, community members will be able to make donations to a variety of 501(c)(3) organizations that do work that benefits York County and its residents. “(The) minimum gift (amount) is $10 to be See Give Local York pg 3
