The annual year-end giving initiative is gearing up to start accepting contributions at centraloregongives.com, rallying support for over 60 local nonprofit organizations dedicated to serving the diverse needs of Central Oregon’s community. As an added bonus, donors contributing $25 or more will receive special rewards from local businesses as a token of appreciation.
From addressing affordable housing and animal rescue to championing environmental conservation and supporting food banks, Central Oregon Gives stands as the most comprehensive philanthropic platform in the region. Donors have the opportunity to explore the missions of numerous nonprofits and directly support the causes that resonate with them the most.
For donations of $25 or more made from now until the end of the year, dozens of local businesses have stepped up to provide enticing incentives for contributions, including a pint of beer, a cup of coffee, or a complimentary pass to a wellness class. These incentives will change weekly, encouraging donors to revisit the platform and sustain their support throughout the campaign.
The model has been wildly successful, helping to raise nearly $3 million for Central Oregon nonprofits since launching in 2019, including the over $1 million in donations made during the 2022 campaign. Every dollar earned goes directly to the nonprofits involved.
This year, we are proud to announce the generous support of local business, First Interstate Bank as a category sponsor for the Education, Family & Children category. There is $30,000 in additional prize money on the line from a generous anonymous donor and our new category sponsor, First Interstate Bank.
This sponsorship boosts the category prize for this category to $5,000. As in years past, the top Central Oregon Gives fundraiser will earn $15,000 in additional prize dollars. Other prizes include $2,500 for the nonprofit that earns the most donations of $25 or less and $2,500 for the top earners in each of the remaining 4 categories.
