until our 2024 Giving Blitz Begins!
What is the Giving Blitz?
The Giving Blitz is a new 48-hour fundraising blitz event to support Columbia Ability Alliance. We are aiming to mobilize our community to collectively raise $50,000 to help fund our diverse mission programs. The event begins at 12:01am on Wednesday, August 7 and ends at 11:59pm on Thursday, August 8.
What does my donation go towards?
Gifts made during the Giving Blitz support our mission of empowering individuals with unique abilities and life barriers as they achieve independence and personal success. Where your donation is directed is up to you – you can choose to support any one of our programs or projects specifically or put it towards the area of greatest need.
What are challenges and how do they work?
By partnering with generous community businesses and philanthropic individuals, we have the potential to garner extra support for our nonprofit programs. We have a slate of partners lined up, ready to give big, but only if our community helps us “unlock” these gifts by meeting specific donation goals!
Is there a minimum gift?
Short answer, no! Ever heard of the ripple effect? The ripple effect underscores the idea that every donation, no matter the size, has the potential to create a ripple of positive change that extends beyond the initial act of giving. Every gift matters.
Is my Giving Blitz contribution tax-deductible?
The deductibility of your contribution for tax purposes is limited to the amount that exceeds the value of any goods and services you are entitled to receive in return. Donors will not be receiving any goods or services in exchange for their donations. Please consult with your financial advisor if you have any questions. Donors will automatically receive an emailed receipt.
Do I have to donate online, or can I contribute in another way?
Please contact our Philanthropy Officer, Chase Wharton, and he would be happy to assist you.
