May 5, 2015 is the Seattle Foundation’s GiveBIG Day of Champions, a one-day-only online donation event designed to raise money for nonprofit organizations. Contributions from GiveBIG sponsors are used to stretch donations made to nonprofits, up to $2,500 per donor, per organization. To paint a better picture, GiveBig Day 2014 stretched each donation by about 8 cents per dollar.

Also all GiveBIG Day donors are in a pool to be randomly selected for a Golden Ticket. Recipients of the Golden Ticket will receive a $100 Starbucks gift card as well as an extra $1,000 to your selected nonprofit from the Seattle Foundation.

GiveBIG is a huge day for Seattle nonprofits, and it will be an especially big day for the Housing Alliance. Thanks to a few Champion Board Members and Supporters, any online donations made to the Alliance anytime on May 5 will be matched 1:1. Any donation up to $6,000 is eligible for this 1:1 match. This plus the GiveBIG stretch means that your donation will be more then doubled!

Affordable homes remain out of reach for too many Washingtonians, particularly those with the lowest incomes. We see these inequalities in our communities every day, from the street to the classroom. The reasons for homelessness and housing instability are complex, and are at the core of our public policies. Change is difficult, but it is not impossible. The Housing Alliance seeks swift, decisive, and thoughtful change. To bring about that change, we work to bring people and organizations together in order to have the greatest impact on policy.

Your donation will support a strong, statewide movement for affordable homes and an end to homelessness, and there’s no better way to give then on Seattle’s GiveBig Day of Champions.
