The Big Day of Giving is an online networking and giving event that provides nonprofit organizations the opportunity to gain exposure and start relationships with new donors, and for the people in the Sacramento region to raise as much money as possible for participating organizations within a 24-hour period.
The event was organized and implemented by GiveLocalNow with local community foundations the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, Placer Community Foundation and Yolo Community Foundation.
A pool of matching funds has been made available from match and prize sponsors. The online event ends at 11:59 p.m. today, May 6.
