Givin’ Where I’m Livin’ simplifies local donations
I
By Laurel Robertson
t’s hard enough! You work enough to make enough and want to give back a little. But then you need to work more to figure out where your donations should go to make a real difference here in Dripping Springs. This should be easier! And it can be. The Dripping Springs Community Foundation has worked for years to provide a reliable road map to guide donors to the most effective local charities, and help charities communicate their mission and programs to the community-at-large. The week of April 17-24 marks the culmination of the Dripping Springs Community Foundation’s five month Givin’ Where I’m Livin’ campaign, which provides support and publicity for local charitable organizations and offers local residents a chance to see their donations doubled with matching funds.
The Givin’ Where I’m Livin’ campaign began last January at the Terrace Club with a Kick-Off event for participating local charities. It continued through February and March with Lunch ‘N Learn sessions sponsored by the City and the Chamber of Commerce, offering the staff of nonprofits training in leadership and grant resources. The Givin’ Where I’m Livin’ campaign crescendoes this month with the Week of Online Giving, April 17-24. Dripping Springers are encouraged to donate to their favorite local charities (or to the campaign at large) online starting at 12:01 am April 17 and continuing through 6 pm April 24. They can also donate in person at the Givin’ Where I’m Livin’ booth on Mercer Street during Founders Day festivities. See GIVIN’ WHERE I’M LIVIN’, page 2
