What is DonorBridge, you ask? According to the site, which officially fires up tomorrow:
DonorBridge is a dynamic new online resource that will make mutual connections between nonprofit organizations, donors and supporters. It will feature hundreds of straightforward profiles of Dallas-area nonprofit organizations. As a result, gathering reliable information, making charitable gifts and addressing community needs will become simpler.
Here’s what you need to know: on Tuesday and Wednesday, DonorBridge is looking to give $300,000 to Dallas charities in matching funds. On Tuesday, $100,000 in matching funds will be made available to the Communities Foundation of Texas and The Dallas Foundation — but the donations have to be made on that day. The following day, $200,000 in matching funds will be up for grabs, available to other local charities, with the limit set at $25,000 in matching funds for any one particular charity. Oh, and there will be a 5 percent charge tacked on to online donations made via credit, with the 5 percent going to the Communities Foundation of Texas.
Confused yet? Sort it all out at the DonorBridge site. Oh, and keep the Katy Trail in mind when you donate, as they’re the folks who alerted me to this two-day matching extravaganza.
