Coming Together While We’re Apart: Midlands Gives

The need is great. The COVID-19 pandemic is taking a toll on everyone, including our region’s nonprofits. Canceled fundraisers, a decline in donations from corporations and individuals due to market jitters, the absence of volunteers, and increased demand are taxing nonprofits abilities to operate. Donations made through Midlands Gives will help our nonprofits overcome COVID–19.

Early giving is now open HERE, or join us virtually on May 5 for Midlands Gives Day at MidlandsGives.org. Embrace your inner philanthropist, and give generously!
