Give Big logo from The Seattle Foundation. They created a tool kit to help support nonprofits.

Support the local nonprofits who improve our lives — give BIG on May 5! During this one-day, online event, your donations go farther with The Seattle Foundation’s “stretch pool.” It’s a great way to say thank you to the organizations who help people in need and improve education, health, the environment, and more.

Social media will be huge during this event! Nonprofits are reaching out with a variety of social media tools, and people are encouraged to post about their giving. Using a creative tool, The Seattle Foundation has a tagboard wall set up. Followers also will receive special alerts on the giveBIG Facebook page.

Last year, giveBIG raised over $12 million for local nonprofits in one day! They hope that people will give even bigger this year.
