Day of Giving: make pre-schedule donations starting Nov. 1- 9

The countdown is on for the Coastal Bend Day of Giving, a 24-hour online opportunity to raise funds for nonprofits at the forefront of assisting people in the greatest need in the Coastal Bend. This community give-together begins at midnight on Nov. 10 with a minimum gift of only $10.

Each of the 40 participating nonprofits, including the Ark Assessment Center and Emergency Shelter for Youth, Catholic Charities, Corpus Christi Hope House and Mother Teresa Shelter, is eligible for a $16,250 match, enabling them to raise at least $32,500 on that Day.


New to the Day of Giving Web site this year is the ability to schedule donations between Nov. 1 – 9 for payment on Nov. 10 and the acceptance e-checks in lieu of credit or debit cards.

To donate that day, log on to www.coastalbenddayofgiving.org–a dedicated Web site that will make giving a quick, easy and secure process. Please visit www.coastalbenddayofgiving.org for more information.

In 2014, more than 6.500 donors help the Day of Giving raise more than $1.5 million.
