Today is the third-annual North Texas Giving Day. What that means is, an outfit called DonorBridge has a $1 million pool that it uses to partially match every donation larger than $25 made to some 700 North Texas nonprofits. Donations have to be made before 7 tonight. And they have to be made through the DonorBridge site, www.donorbridgetx.org. Go there to see if your favorite nonprofit is included (I bet it is). But here’s the thing: you need to be patient. The DonorBridge website is having trouble keeping up with traffic this morning.
Update (1:15): From DonorBridge: “Due to overwhelmingly positive response to DonorBridge’s North Texas Giving Day, donor are experiencing longer-than-anticipated wait times on the website. The website is working, but volunteers and staff are also standing by and ready to process donations via phone. Please call 214-346-5500. Be advised wait times for phone donations fluctuate as well.”
