Several local nonprofits are expected to be among the nearly 1,000 Arizona nonprofit organizations that participate in Arizona Gives Day, an online fundraising initiative, scheduled to take place on Wednesday, April 9th. Nonprofits can even win extra funding based on the volume of donors or total contributions over the 24-hour period.
Presented by FirstBank, Arizona Gives Day is a 24-hour online giving initiative aimed at bringing together communities across the state, to raise awareness and financial support for a variety of nonprofit organizations throughout Arizona. Arizonans are encouraged to help make a difference by investing in the nonprofit of their choice.
Yavapai County nonprofits are enthusiastic about their participation in Arizona Gives Day and representatives of these organizations anticipate an overall benefit for those they serve. In fact, several organizations are organizing special events in conjunction with Arizona Gives Day.
“The inaugural event in 2013 was a big success and proved the commitment Arizonans have in supporting our nonprofits throughout the state. We are excited to for the 2014 Arizona Gives Day and to further showcase the important work our nonprofits are doing in our communities,” said Patrick McWhortor, president and CEO of the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits.
From midnight on April 9 and continuing until 11:59 p.m., supporters can go online to www.azgives.organd select their favorite organizations to receive your charitable contribution. All online donations during this day will go directly to support/help the communities they serve.

“What AZ Gives Days Means to People Who Care…It means that we have the opportunity to join other nonprofits around the state calling attention to the impact we make to better the lives of our neighbors. It means that we are able to highlight our local community of nonprofit organizations and celebrate how they enrich and enhance the lives of all of our residents – young and old, disabled persons, people struggling with poverty and shelter, the arts, and the animals we shelter. It means that People Who Care is able to reach out to our caring community and ask for support in helping our clients continue living independently in their own residences and their own communities – Chino Valley, Prescott, Yarnell and the surrounding rural areas.”
