Schuylkill Gives fundraiser to benefit local nonprofits
Schuylkill Gives, which is an annual 24-hour fundraiser that benefits local nonprofits, begins Wednesday at noon.
The online giving initiative is designed to strengthen the Schuylkill County nonprofit community, and is run by the Schuylkill Area Community Foundation.
The fundraiser from noon Wednesday until noon Thursday, and anyone can donate online using their credit or debit cards. Donations must be at least $10 and are made through the Schuylkill Gives online portal.
The proceeds will be disbursed to nonprofits within a week and will make a tremendous impact on those groups and to the people and causes they support, the foundation said.
The website gives information on each of the participating organizations, and allows visitors to search for nonprofits by category.
For example, searching under the keyword 'animals' leads to a list of three charities – Hillside SPCA, Red Creek Wildlife Rescue and Delaware Riverkeepers Network.
Searching for 'arts and culture' brings a list of 19 organizations ranging from public libraries to community events to high school band booster groups.
