Thanks to the generosity of South Texas foundations, 35 local organizations will be eligible to receive matching funds for financial gifts of at least $10 that are donated online via major credit/debit cards (VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover) at
http://www.coastalbenddayofgiving.org during the sixth Coastal Bend Day of Giving.
Contributions will only be accepted at that Web site for 24 hours starting at midnight on Tuesday, Nov. 18 and ending at 11:59:59 p.m. the same day. Financial gifts to the Ark Assessment Center and Emergency Shelter for Youth, Corpus Christi Hope House, Catholic Charities and the Mother Teresa Shelter or one of the other nonprofits providing basic needs will be matched dollar for dollar up to $14,285 per agency.
All gifts made through the Web site are processed by a nonprofit service that facilitates online donations. A 4.5 percent credit card processing fee will be charged, but you can choose to either have it deducted from or added to your donation. Each donor will receive an email receipt for tax purposes.
On Tuesday, Nov. 18, your help will mean so much more. To make your contribution that day, log on to www.coastalbenddayofgiving.org?a dedicated Web site that will make giving a quick, easy and secure process. Please visit
