The event takes place on Tuesday, August 13,2013. Donors have a 12 hour window between hours of 8:00a.m. to 8:00p.m. EST to donate to your favorite non-profit organizations (OLP).
Gift Amount: The minimum gift is $25.00. There is no limit to the maximum amount you may give.
Credit Cards: Only Visa and Mastercard will be accepted. The credit card processor charges a nominal fee per transaction. The Erie Community Foundation does not receive any fees. (Sorry, Visa and Mastercard gift cards will not be acepted.)
Prorated Match: The Erie community Foundation will enhance each donor's gift by providing a prorated match to each gift made to a non-profit. The The Foundation will divide a total of
$150,000 ($100,000 provided by The Erie Community Foundation plus an additional $50,000 provided by GE Transportation) among the participating nonprofits. The more a nonprofit raises the more of the $150,000 the nonprofit will receive.
