Area charitable organizations will compete for $50,000 in matching funds

Give Local Isabella is the rally call for a 24-hour, communitywide fundraising event hosted by the Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation.

Debuting May 4, Give Local Isabella is a social media-driven, crowdfunding opportunity for nonprofits to engage existing and new donors as they compete for a pool of $50,000 in endowment support.

“As we head toward spring and see promising signs of the future, Give Local Isabella will be a fun, energized day that celebrates community,” said Amanda Schafer, the foundation’s CEO. “May 4 will show what’s possible when we come together to build each other up.”

Organizations with endowment funds held by the foundation are eligible to participate in this historic giving event. In addition to the donations they’ll encourage for their particular causes at givelocalisabella.org, the organizations will compete for $50,000 in matching funds.

The funds have been committed by Mt. Pleasant Abstract & Title. President Paul Alexander believes wholeheartedly in local community and these charitable organizations, Schafer said.

“One day. One community. Save the date and plan to give because, every dollar goes further on May 4. Everyone can be a philanthropist during Give Local Isabella. It’s about pulling together and giving forward. We can’t wait to see the energy and excitement this generates throughout the community.”
