Omaha’s 6th annual 24-hour charitable challenge is set for Wednesday, May 23. Giving begins at midnight with a minimum $10 donation and hourly drawings and prizes make your donations go even further.
Omaha Gives! is a year-round online giving platform organized by the Omaha Community Foundation to grow philanthropy in Douglas, Sarpy, and Pottawattamie counties. Each year, there is a 24-hour online giving event in May to celebrate nonprofits. This year’s giving day will take place on Wednesday, May 23, 2018. The goal is to inspire the community to come together for 24-hours to give as much as possible to support the work of public 501(c)(3) nonprofits in the metro area. The minimum donation is $10 and there is no maximum. Prizes and challenge funds amplify charitable donations to make each dollar go further. Search profiles of participating nonprofits and track progress during the event on our leaderboard. Last year, the community raised over $7.8 million for local nonprofits.
All donations will be processed through this website. In order to participate, nonprofits must meet our eligibility requirements and will be required to register in early 2018.
