Greetings and Salutations GivingMatters.com Community!

As you know, there's been some transition here on the GivingMatters.com team and I'm excited to introduce myself to you. I'll be working in partnership with other "Bee Team" members to support you in all things GivingMatters-related. I know many of you through my previous work as Director of Nonprofit and Volunteer Relations at Hands On Nashville, and look forward to getting to know the rest of you over the coming months. Away we go!

The Big Payback a Big Success!
 
Kudos to the 755 nonprofits that participated in our community's largest annual day of giving on May 5. The Big Payback raised $2,646,398.47!

Though the event is over, the support of local nonprofits continues. An anonymous donation of nearly $100,000 to The Big Payback will cover all online transaction fees, as well as credit card processing fees incurred during the historic giving day. This allows the participating nonprofits to receive the full amount raised on May 5, 2015. Learn more here.

Looking for your check?
You will receive all donations, matching funds, and any prize money in a single disbursement no later than 60 days after the event. All disbursements will be made by check from The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee (CFMT).

Looking for receipts? 
Send any donors in need of tax receipts to TheBigPayback.org for an automated receipt request.
