Phoenix Stage Company Will Participate in 'Give Local'

Phoenix Stage Company is participating in the Connecticut Community Foundation's amazing event, Give Local.

Give Local Greater Waterbury & Litchfield Hills is a community-wide online giving challenge which seeks to inspire as many people as possible to support local nonprofit organizations during a 36-hour period.

Presented by Naugatuck Savings Bank Foundation with the fundraising platform underwritten by Crystal Rock, Give Local will generate as much money as possible for our local nonprofits through online donations, matching funds and bonus prizes.

A giving website has been created for our community that will allow donations to be made safely and security to local causes and organizations. To date, they have $90,000 in matching funds and bonus prizes committed from the community foundation and our funding partners!

Every penny of every dollar donated to your nonprofit through Give Local will be forwarded to your organization as unrestricted funds. Those donations will be amplified by matching gifts and bonus prizes throughout the event.

How it Works:
For 36 hours, between 7a.m. on Tuesday, November 12 through 7p.m. on Wednesday, November 13, donors can make gifts of $10 or more to participating nonprofits that are located in or provide services in our 21 town service area. Donations will be amplified with matching funds and nonprofits may be eligible for additional prizes and bonuses!

The celebration of Connecticut Community Foundation’s 90th anniversary is an opportunity to shine the spotlight on our nonprofit partners and to make it fun and easy for individuals to support the local nonprofit community.

Won't you join the challenge and offer your support to the Phoenix Stage Company! I will post the link to the giving website as soon as it is active on November 12th!
