Here's How to Give Back to America by Giving Local

Hey, giving back to local businesses is a really good way to support local economies, and help out to causes that're important.

Give Local America is a 24-hour crowdfunding event, beginning on May 3, 2016 and running from 12:00am – 11:59pm EST. It's designed to empower folks across the US to give back to their local communities by supporting the organizations they trust to tackle today’s most critical issues.

On May 3, you can help strengthen the foundation of our local communities by providing necessary funding for Give Local America's community partners. Every person and nonprofit's encouraged to join this effort to improve the long-term outlook of our communities and ultimately, our country.

To give you an idea of the impact, in 2015, Give Local America raised $68M in 24 hours, and 9,000 nonprofits benefited from this great initiative.

It's really easy to get involved: Give Local America's developed resources to help you get started and create engaging campaigns to make the most of Give Local America for your org. It's not too early (or too late) to sign up.

Also, Give Local America is gearing up for the giving day by asking people to sign up for their Thunderclap. You can either sign up for the NYC Give Local day, or the national one (or both).
