On Wednesday, May 15 from midnight to midnight, you’ll have a chance to donate to your favorite local nonprofits through The Seattle Foundation’s second annual GiveBIG giving event, and we wouldn’t be a true neighborhood news blog if we didn’t mention two of our favorite Wallingford nonprofits that could use our support. FamilyWorks and the Wallingford Community Senior Center impact many lives each day and a gift on May 15th to them will help continue important work of serving the community.
GiveBIG is a unique, one-day, online charitable giving event encouraging residents of King County to give locally. Through GiveBIG, King County residents are asked to give to a local nonprofits of their choosing through The Seattle Foundation’s online Giving Center. Contributions are partially matched by a “stretch pool” provided by The Seattle Foundation and GiveBIG sponsors. The goal of GiveBIG is to raise money for the community while introducing charitably minded people to hundreds of excellent and efficient nonprofits on The Seattle Foundation’s Giving Center that make our region a healthier and more vital place to live.

Thank you, Margaret, for the Give BIG shout out. This is a chance for all of us amateur philanthropists to band together and show some of those donor muscles. Don’t miss this chance to shore up these great Wallingford non-profits.
