#giveNNY

(Click the icon to support 315Day!)


The 2021 Campaign

In keeping with its founding principles, #giveNNY and its “315Day” campaign aimed to unite North Country nonprofits as a way of putting community philanthropy above the specific interests of each organization.

From human services to health and wellness, arts and culture, conservation and environment, history,  education, children and families, animal welfare, youth development, elder services, and recreation, nonprofits participating in the 2021 #giveNNY campaign represented a wide range of unique missions that collectively strengthen the region and make Northern New York a special place to live, work and play.

Returning for its fourth year, the campaign kicked off Monday, Feb. 15, and culminated with a day of radio broadcast on Tunes 92.5 FM on Monday, March 15.  Several events to drive awareness and support for the effort took place during the month leading up to “315Day.” All campaign activities were conducted with health and safety in mind as the region continues to confront the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

About #giveNNY

#giveNNY began in 2017 as a grassroots, community-based movement to unite tri-county nonprofits in a local day of giving on the international #GivingTuesday. In 2018, 14 nonprofits in Jefferson, Lewis and St, Lawrence counties participated and were each awarded an equal share of money raised during the effort. The campaign completed its third year in 2019, kicking off with 27 participating nonprofits on Monday, Nov. 4, and culminating with a day of radio broadcast on Tunes 92.5 FM on #GivingTuesday, Dec. 3, 2019.

#giveNNY helps to unite the region’s nonprofit organizations through a collaborative effort that highlights the important work they collectively achieve, in partnership with donors, in the communities where we live. The movement ensures every gift of every size can be combined for greater reach. It is also unique in that participating nonprofit organizations are as diverse in their missions as the region.

The 2019 campaign marked the beginning of a new partnership between #giveNNY and the Northern New York Community Foundation to help grow the initiative and expand its reach. The Community Foundation awarded a $10,000 matching grant, doubling gifts made in support of the effort. More than 115 individuals, families and businesses, and a Northern New York Community Foundation matching grant, combined to lift the 2019 #giveNNY campaign to a new record of $24,375 in support to participating nonprofits in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties. At the conclusion of the campaign, 100 percent of the amount raised was distributed equally among the participating charitable organizations as grants from the Community Foundation.
