It’s the best time of year to support the work of Planned Parenthood and other local nonprofits!
That’s because the two BIGGEST days of the year for Northwest philanthropy – Give Big and Idaho Gives – are coming up in just a few days, on May 5 and May 6 respectively. Give Big (based in Seattle, WA) and Idaho Gives (based in Boise, ID) are both one-day-only online fundraising events where donors from across our communities – and across the country – can have their contributions to local causes MATCHED. Together, these two events raise millions of dollars each year for local organizations – and make the support of thousands of local donors go even further!
But you don’t have to live in Washington or Idaho to have your donations MATCHED through Give Big or Idaho Gives. No matter where you live, when you donate to Planned Parenthood through Give Big or Idaho Gives your support will go twice as far to benefit patients in YOUR community.
You also don’t have to wait until May to make your Give Big or Idaho Gives donation! You can set up your gift online right now, and have your donation to Planned Parenthood DOUBLED by our local matching donors when the big days come.
Donor support of Planned Parenthood is especially critical right now! The one-two punch of pandemic-driven loss of insurance coverage and the previous Administration’s devastating cuts to federal health care programs has dramatically increased the number of people in our communities who simply have no way to pay for the care they need. The Biden-Harris Administration has started the difficult work of repairing cuts to the social safety net, but it will take years to restore the health care programs that Trump tore down – and to expand those programs to match the enormous need for health care across this country. And local patients can't afford to wait!
Donations matched through Give Big and Idaho Gives will be put directly to work providing essential reproductive health care in communities across Alaska, Hawai'i, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, and Washington. (Oh yeah – we merged!)
Please help make the most of this opportunity to multiply your impact by spreading the word about Give Big and Idaho Gives online, and please consider making a donation of your own – which will be matched dollar for dollar – today.
