New Orleans, LA (January 10, 2017)<\/strong> \u2013 Today, the Greater New Orleans Foundation officially announced that the fourth annual GiveNOLA Day<\/strong><\/a> will take place on May 2, 2017 from 12AM \u2013 11:59 PM. The announcement took place at the Greater New Orleans Foundation\u2019s new Center of Philanthropy, located on Lee Circle.<\/p>\n

New Orleans Fire Department Chief Timothy McConnell sounded the fire truck siren to excite the giving community at a \u201cfired-up\u201d press conference. \u201cLet\u2019s all get ready to give! On May 2nd<\/sup>, we will have the opportunity to come together as a community, support well-deserving nonprofits, and improve the quality of life for us all,\u201d said McConnell.<\/p>\n

In the past three years, GiveNOLA Day, which is a community-wide, 24-hour online giving day, has raised more than $10 million for regional nonprofits. This year, the Greater New Orleans Foundation hopes to raise $4.5 million from 30,000 donations for 700 nonprofits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a culture of giving in the New Orleans community and the generosity is astounding,\u201d said Mayor Mitch Landrieu. \u201cLet\u2019s demonstrate it on May 2nd<\/sup> by coming together on this day of giving to help raise $4.5 million to support our incredible nonprofits whose missions range from feeding our hungry, to sheltering our homeless, to promoting the arts.\u201d<\/p>\n

All donations made on the GiveNOLA.org<\/a> website go directly to participating nonprofits working on a broad range of issues: arts & culture, animals, community improvement, education, environment, health, housing, human rights, human services, public safety & crime, and youth development. At the end of GiveNOLA Day, every participating nonprofit will receive a proportional share of the \u201cLagniappe Fund,\u201d a local pool of incentive dollars raised by sponsors. The Greater New Orleans Foundation does not collect any fees from contributions in order for the nonprofit organizations to receive the maximum benefit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to continue our commitment to GiveNOLA Day and to witness the region\u2019s generosity and enthusiasm for area nonprofits,\u201d said Charles Rice, president and CEO of Entergy New Orleans, a sponsor of this year\u2019s GiveNOLA Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiveNOLA Day is a day we can all come together and support the plethora of nonprofits that support our region,\u201d said Greater New Orleans Foundation President and CEO Andy Kopplin. \u201cBecause the minimum donation is $10, It\u2019s a day when everyone can be a philanthropist.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2016, GiveNOLA Day suffered from a technology failure that affected the website for approximately ten hours within the 24-hour campaign. Despite this setback, the giving day generated an astonishing $4 million for the 713 participating nonprofit organizations. In an effort to eliminate the chances of technology issues this year, the Greater New Orleans Foundation has engaged a new technology partner. The new partner for GiveNOLA Day 2017 will be Denver-based CiviCore<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter much research and due diligence, we have decided to choose CiviCore as our new technology partner for GiveNOLA Day 2017 for two reasons. First, CiviCore has a track record of success having raised over $200 million for nonprofits nationwide on their giving platform. Second, their platform is built with fail-over protections, which hopefully won\u2019t be necessary, but available just in case,\u201d explained Kopplin.<\/p>\n

Registration for nonprofits wishing to participate is open from January 10, 2017 through February 14, 2017. All nonprofits must participate in a mandatory mechanics webinar, the dates and times of which can be found here: www.givenola.org\/resources<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that are in good standing with the IRS, nonprofit entities that have a fiscal sponsor that is a 501(c)(3) organization in good standing with the IRS, and organizations categorized by the IRS as 509(a)(3) are eligible to participate. The organization\u2019s service area and mailing address must be in the Greater New Orleans Foundation 13-parish region, which is: Assumption, Jefferson, Lafourche, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Terrebonne, and Washington. Supporting organizations must provide additional documentation, if not already on file with the Greater New Orleans Foundation.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in being a sponsor for GiveNOLA Day, please contact Development Officer Allie Betts at (504) 598-4663 or allie@gnof.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
