First, we help nonprofits grow, connect and collaborate. Since its inception, the Foundation has administered a grants program and distributed more than $1.3 million in support to nonprofit organizations across all sectors. In addition, we help nonprofits thrive by providing capacity building opportunities that promote collaboration and learning such as our free monthly Nonprofit CafÊ that hosts on average 40 nonprofit leaders monthly to learn about such topics as social media, event planning, and working effectively with your board of directors. 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. Lastly, we are locally facilitating a culture of generosity by providing educational and community engagement opportunities. On May 3rd and 4th, we will be hosting the fourth 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!

WHAT IS A DAY OF GIVING?
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
Give Big Gallatin Valley (GBGV) is a 24-hour online and live celebration of giving event that connects community members in the Gallatin Valley with local nonprofits to reinforce the value of giving! This year, Gallatin Valley will host its fourth GBGV Day of Giving. Here are some common questions and answers about this event that will leave you in a spirit ready to give big to Gallatin Valley nonprofits!
Anyone and everyone. The minimum donation is $5!
WHAT IS GIVE BIG GALLATIN VALLEY? Give Big simplifies your giving and amplifies your impact! GBGV provides nonprofits the opportunity not only gain public exposure but also to gain monetary support from donors. As a community member, you have the chance to find and support an organization(s) whose mission aligns with your passions. On May 3rd and 4th from 6pm – 6pm, people in the Gallatin County will come together with a goal to raise $1,000,000 for 193 local nonprofits in 24-hours!
WHEN IS THE EVENT? GBGV is on May 3rd and 4th from 6pm – 6pm! The event kicks off at The Bozeman Taproom from 5:30pm – 7:30pm, The Mint Bar in Belgrade from 6 pm - 9pm, and Luxe Spirits and Sweets in Big Sky from 6 pm - 8 pm on Thursday, May 3rd. We will celebrate the amazing generosity of our community at The Baxter Hotel from 5-7pm on Friday, May 4th!
WHERE IS THE EVENT? GBGV is an online event. However, on May 3rd and 4th , there will be live Donor Lounges throughout the county from Bozeman to Belgrade, Big Sky to Three Forks. Businesses are giving away free items at Donor Lounges to encourage community members to give at their lounge. See Page 17 for the schedule and locations of the live Donor Lounges. Information for Donor Lounges hosted by nonprofits can be found under their listing.
HOW DO THE PRIZES WORK? Online donations made during GBGV may help your organization win prizes! For some prizes, donors are selected for giving at a certain time. For example, the 2018th donor on Give Big Day will have $750 dollars added to their gift. Other prizes are awarded to the organization receiving the most gifts during a certain time period. Visit https://www.givebiggv.org/prizes for the full list of prizes your organization can win!
WHY SHOULD I GIVE ON MAY 3RD AND 4TH? GBGV is a special event that encourages a community-wide celebration of giving. Plus, when you give on May 3rd and 4th, your gift can help your favorite nonprofit win prizes! Your gift may also help nonprofits qualify for matching gifts they’ve secured to bolster their fundraising efforts through Give Big.
ARE GIFTS TAX-DEDUCTIBLE? All donations are tax-deductible and irrevocable and will be for the unrestricted use of your chosen charity.
WHO CREATED GBGV? The Bozeman Area Community Foundation organized this event. To find out more about the Foundation, see page 4.
WHAT IF I CAN’T FIND MY FAVORITE NONPROFIT ON THE WEBSITE? That means they aren’t participating in GBGV. After Give Big 2018, encourage the nonprofit to contact us (info@bozemanfoundation.org) so it can register for the May 2019 event! In order to participate, the organization must be a registered 501(c) (3) nonprofit located in Gallatin County.
HOW CAN I GIVE ON MAY 3RD AND 4TH? 1. Give online: Go to www.givebiggv.org and find a cause you care about and give big! 2. Give a gift of check: Go to our Check Donation Station from 10am - 3pm at the Main St. Branch of First Interstate Bank (202 W. Main St.) in Bozeman. You can even get your picture taken with a big check! You can also drop off your gift of check in Big Sky at Caliber Coffee from 8 am - 3 pm on May 4th. 3. Donor Lounges: Go to one of many Donor Lounges around our community, give online and get a free incentive for giving! A win-win!
