WWNO’s news team has ambitious plans for reporting about New Orleans in this 10th year since Katrina. Your support on May 5 to GiveNOLA goes directly to this kind of coverage. The national audience will be listening — together, let’s make sure they hear our stories!
What is GiveNOLA Day?
Hosted on Tuesday, May 5 by the Greater New Orleans Foundation, GiveNOLA Day is the community’s one-day, online giving event to inspire people to give generously to the nonprofit organizations that make our region a stronger and more thriving community for all. It’s our day to come together as one! Every dollar donated from midnight to midnight on May 5 will be increased with additional “lagniappe” dollars provided by the Greater New Orleans Foundation and our generous GiveNOLA Day sponsors. Last year, GNOF raised $2.25 million from 19,000+ donors around the nation. This year, the goals are to raise $3 million from 25,000+ donors!
How can I participate?
Everybody can participate on GiveNOLA Day! Individuals can make online donations to participating nonprofits. The minimum donation is $10. All donations made on May 5 give your favorite nonprofit the opportunity to earn lagniappe dollars, awards and hourly prizes.
