n 2015, the Bozeman Area Community Foundation hosted the first Give Big initiative with the modest goal of raising $100,000 for 100 nonprofits in 24-hours for our community. In just one day, our community rallied together with generosity and more than doubled that initial goal by raising $237,000. In four short years, our community has raised over $2,643,500 through over 15,000 gifts during Give Big for over 194 local nonprofits. Amazing!
Since 2015, our initiative has grown into a county-wide celebration of giving. We are proud to highlight nonprofits from Bozeman to Three Forks and Belgrade to Big Sky. While there has been tremendous growth in dollars raised and donors inspired, the goal of Give Big has stayed the same - inspire our neighbors to come together, show their pride in their communities, and contribute to support the life-changing work of local nonprofit organizations in Gallatin County. On May 2nd and 3rd from 6pm-6pm, the Bozeman Area Community Foundation will host our fifth annual Give Big initiative. This year, we have biggest goal yet: to raise $1,500,000 for over 190 local nonprofits through 5,000 donors in 24-hours. Can we do it together?

WHERE CAN I GIVE? Give Big is an online and live event. To inspire a culture of generosity in our community during Give Big, many local businesses are opening their doors to host official Donor Lounges hosted by nonprofits to help make your giving easy and fun! These will be locations where you can go and give to your favorite nonprofit. Plus, these generous businesses will give you free incentives just by giving at their Donor Lounge. For a full list of Official Donor Lounges, check out our schedule at www.GiveBigGV.org/info/donor-lounges. Give Big will start with our Launch Party on Thursday, May 2nd from 4pm-7pm in Big Sky located at Lone Peak Cinema (50 Ousel Falls Road, Big Sky). The initiative will wrap up with a Finale Celebration on Friday, May 3rd from 4:30pm6:30pm at the Rialto (10 W. Main St. Bozeman) to thank all participating donors and nonprofits. There will be treats, free champagne for the first 50 attendees with proof of donation, a cash bar and live music by Paige and the Peoples Band! Both events are family friendly, free and open to all community members! People often think that philanthropy is for the Bill Gates and Warren Buffets of the world. The truth is, everyone can be a philanthropist. No gift is too small. And, the beauty of Give Big is that together, our gifts will combine for a big

Secondly, we help community members give more effectively to the causes that matter most to them. We provide one-on-one services to donors by sharing local knowledge and expertise regarding area nonprofits working in different sectors. Additionally,
we manage donor advised funds for individual donors and establish and manage endowments for organizations that don’t have the capacity to do that on their own.
Foundation has been caring for and strengthening our village in three ways:

First, we help nonprofits grow, connect and collaborate. Since its inception, BACF has administered a grants program and distributed more than $2.6 million in support to nonprofit organizations across all sectors in Gallatin County. In addition, we help nonprofits thrive by providing capacity building opportunities that promote collaboration and learning such as our free monthly Nonprofit CafĂŠ that hosts on average 40 nonprofit leaders monthly to learn about topics such as social media, event planning, and working effectively with your board of directors.
Lastly, we are locally facilitating a culture of generosity by providing educational and community engagement opportunities. On May 2nd and 3rd, we will be hosting the fifth 24-hour giving day called Give Big Gallatin Valley to promote giving to local nonprofits and highlight the overall value of the nonprofit sector to the health and well-being of our community. We also teach Gallatin County youth about the local nonprofit sector and philanthropy through our Youth Giving Project!

Here are some common questions and answers about this event that will leave you in a spirit ready to give big to Gallatin County nonprofits!
Anyone and everyone. The minimum donation is $5! If everyone in Gallatin County gave just $15, we would reach our goal to raise $1,500,000!
WHAT IS GIVE BIG GALLATIN VALLEY? Give Big simplifies your giving and amplifies your impact!

On May 2nd and 3rd from 6pm – 6pm, people in the Gallatin County will come together with a goal to raise $1,500,000 for over 190 local nonprofits in 24-hours! If every community member gave just $15 to a cause they cared about, we would reach our goal!

The giving fun will start with a Launch Party on Thursday, May 2nd from 4pm-7pm in Big Sky located at Lone Peak Cinema (50 Ousel Falls Road, Big Sky).
