Give Online

The simplest way to give is online at GiveBigGV.org during the giving window.

• Support multiple nonprofits in one transaction
• Use a credit or debit card
• Give the minimum of $5 or any amount you choose
• Help nonprofits qualify for prizes and matching funds

Online giving opens with a soft launch on April 29. Give Big runs from 6 pm on April 30 to 6 pm on May 1.

Giving by Check

You can give by check in two ways: directly to a nonprofit or through One Valley Community Foundation if you want to support more than one organization with one check.

To help ensure your check is counted in a nonprofit’s Give Big totals, we encourage mailing it by Thursday, April 16. Checks that arrive after 6 pm on May 1 may not be included in end-of-day totals or press coverage.

Questions about giving by check? Contact Chloe Loeffelholz at chloe@onevalley.org or 406-587-6262 x 70.

1) Give directly to a nonprofit

• Mail or hand deliver your check to the nonprofit you want to support.
• Make sure it arrives before 6 pm on May 1.
• Date your check April 30 or May 1, or write “Give Big” in the memo line.

Receipts:

• If the nonprofit has your email address, they may email your receipt.
• If not, they will mail a paper receipt after Give Big.

2) Give through One Valley Community Foundation

• Use this option if you want to support multiple nonprofits with one check.
