Today Utahns will again prove their record-breaking generosity by contributing to their favorite nonprofit organizations and schools through Love Utah Give Utah. Today, for 24 hours of generosity, Love UT Give UT hopes to raise $2 million for charities and schools across the state. Every donation you make during Love UT Give UT will help qualify your favorite organizations for grants and prizes, furthering the impact of your gift. Your donation is an investment in Utah’s future, and it is your chance to make a real difference by supporting the nonprofits and schools that make our state such a great place to live.
“Last year Love UT Give UT raised an astonishing $1,058,839 for 460 charities in just 24 hours. For 2015, we hope to raise $2 million for 500 charities and schools across Utah,” explained Blair Hodson, Director of Initiatives at the Community Foundation of Utah.
Love UT Give UT’s vision is that everyone contributes to the causes that matter most to them – their school, a favorite charity, or a specific need. It is a day for Utahns of all backgrounds to come together for 24 hours of giving using an online platform, www.loveUTgiveUT.org.
Many corporations are encouraging their employees to give through Love UT Give UT, and matching employee donations. “Corporations appreciate Love UT Give UT because it is simple, free, and fast. Employees appreciate being able to support any cause, organization, or community they wish,” added Hodson.
Love UT Give UT helps nonprofits and schools showcase their work and introduces them to potential donors. Last year, more than a third of all donors were new to the causes they supported, crucial to the sustainability of our region’s nonprofits.
