Each year, Crosscut is proud to take part in the Seattle Foundation’s one-day charitable event, GiveBIG. This is an ideal day to support Crosscut(nudge nudge) and the other non-profits you know and love, because each donation will receive a part of the Foundation’s over $1 Million stretch fund. But it should also serve as a day for us to get to know some of the unsung nonprofits working hands-on in our communities to make an impact.
That’s why we’re taking part in the first ever GiveBIG Lunch Break, hosted by Town Hall Seattle on May 3. Over 25 non-profits will be on display between 11am – 2pm, with performances, prizes, a food truck and ice-cream, music, and mobile giving stations hosted by Seattle Foundation.
Most of these non-profits are making strides in our community on operating budgets of less than $500k a year, which means whether you giveBIG or small, your support of these teams goes a long way. While you can watch the program live stream from the comfort of your office (or couch), I encourage you to join us in-person to meet the people behind the causes you care about.
