ArkansasGives Charity Event

 Donors to White County nonprofits have an opportunity to stretch their charitable dollars by making online gifts through ArkansasGives.org from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on April 6. Twentyfour White County nonprofit organizations are participating.
 
Last year ArkansasGives raised $4.1 million from the public through 18,535 total donations, and distributed $4.6 million— including prizes and bonus dollars—to 600 nonprofits. 
 
“Your April 6 online donation will help White County nonprofits earn additional money from a bonus pool,” said White County Community Foundation Executive Director Dana Stewart. “During the one-day event, the more a nonprofit raises, the greater portion of the bonus dollars it receives.” 
 
On April 6 donors can give online from smartphones, tablets or personal computers by going to ArkansasGives.org, choosing their nonprofits and making credit card donations. Arkansas Community Foundation will award bonus dollars to nonprofits on a proportional match: An organization that raises 2 percent of the total that comes in through ArkansasGives receives 2 percent of the bonus pool. 
 
White County Community Foundation is hosting a watch party and donation center from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on ArkansasGives day at Simmons First Bank Community Room, 401 S. Main Street in Searcy.
