North State Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving that lands on the first Tuesday following Thanksgiving. After a weekend of consumerism, it’s a day that encourages giving to nonprofits and allows organizations like ours a chance to increase our visibility, highlight our mission, solicit donations, and gain new supporters.

This year, we’re making a special effort to reach an even greater audience! Redding has a population of over 90,000 people. Our social media followers and those on our email list represent just 7% of our residents.

Our challenge then, is besides social media and emails, how do we introduce ourselves to a larger audience?

We’re going to try something a little different and came up with a contest that allows YOU as our supporters to help spread the word. But in order to put the FUN in Fund we have an extra incentive for you:

FUND THE FUN CONTEST

To participate: create your own campaign linked to our Giving page (video how-to below) and share it with your people! If you're not on social media that's ok - you can still share that campaign via email and text messaging. Any campaigns created by you will show up on our North State Giving Tuesday page along with the real-time impact it is making.  (i.e., how much you've personally raised on our behalf by sharing with your friends and them donating).  Whichever campaign has the biggest impact will be our contest winner:  2 Tickets to our Banff World Tour showing on 2/10/24, with dinner, drinks and an adventure gift basket from RTA!  Watch the video below to see how easy it is to create a campaign.

If we’ve still got your attention and you’re ready to get started, click the “GET STARTED” button below. If you decide this contest isn’t for you, you can still donate or help spread the word by sharing our profile link via clicking the same button.

The Giving Tuesday excitement starts 11/28/23 from 6am to 8pm! What is called 'early giving' is open currently, which means you can technically create and share campaigns now.  On the 28th however, there are a number of incentivized contests for nonprofits like us that are participating.  You might remember Power Hours from last year - these are sponsored hours within that day that give nonprofits the chance to earn an additional cash prize from a pool of $15,000 based on how much we bring in during that hour.   

The Power Hours this year on 11/28/23 are: 11am | 3pm | 7pm
