ANNUAL FALL EVENT
Friday, November 15th | Veterans Terrace
WHO WE ARE
GATHER+GIVE started in 2019, out of a desire to make supporting local causes approachable, enjoyable, and impactful. We do this by holding fundraising events and donating 100% of the proceeds to our local partnerships.

HOW IT WORKS
Gather+Give makes local giving easy for donors and local charitable orgs.
A team of volunteers holds fundraising events, but we also handle administrative, marketing, fundraising costs, giving fees, etc., and pass every donated dollar on to our partners. For donors, this means that 0% of your donation goes to overhead. For our partner causes, it means that they get reliable funding without having to put staff resources into fundraising, grant
ALL G+G donations are tax-deductible.

FAQs
-
Our team will review this annually, and communicate any changes in advance of them taking effect.
-
Yes, and you will receive a statement at year-end for tax purposes. Ticketed event purchases are not tax-deductible.
-
If you prefer to do that, that’s great! Here’s TLC’s link, and here’s Love’s.
That said, since fundraising is really all we do, we’re able to accomplish 2 things:
We make life easier for our donors by covering giving fees, emailing reports, and sending giving statements.
We make life easier for our partners, because they get a monthly check from us WITHOUT having to use resources on any of the stuff mentioned above.
We simply want to engage new donors, help get the word out about the important work that’s happening locally, and make it easy for people to give. But again, if you prefer to give directly to one of our partners, please do!
