The next Arizona Gives Day has been officially scheduled for Tuesday, April 5, 2016, and the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits invites all Arizona nonprofit organizations to register for this single-day fundraising event. According to the Alliance, they’ve been working with the Arizona Gives Day platform provider to make some important improvements this year by simplifying the registration process. For those new to the process, or returning after closing a previous account, the Alliance has provided the following FAQ:
What Is Arizona Gives Day?
Operated by the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits and now in its fourth year, Arizona Gives Day is a 24-hour online giving event connecting the people of Arizona with Arizona’s nonprofit community. On April 5, 2016 donors visit AZGives.org to make a donation. Nonprofits that raise the most money in different categories can win special Leaderboard prize money, so your donation can go even further.
Who Should Register?
Open to any nonprofit organizations providing services in Arizona. If your organization did not participate in last year’s Arizona Gives Day or if you did participate but then closed your account, you’ll need to register for 2016.
Who Doesn’t Need To Register?
If your organization participated last year and your account and profile page is still active, you’re already signed up and ready to go. However, we do recommend that you test your page with a $1 donation to your own organization to make sure it’s processed correctly and you see the deposit in your bank account.
How Do I Know If We’re Already Registered?
The easiest way to check is to go to AZGives.org and type your organization’s name in the search box at the very top of the page. If your profile page is active, you’re good to go. If you can’t find a profile page for your organization, you’ll probably need to register or re-register.
What’s New This Year?
- A simplified registration process.
- Online ordering and fulfillment of print materials with special customization options.
- $1 per month fee has been eliminated.
What’s Staying The Same?
- We’re working with Click & Pledge again this year.
- Processing/admin fees are staying the same.
- It is still free to register.
- Training webinars will be available and recorded for future reference.
