What It’s All About
Cincinnati Gives isn’t just this magazine. It’s much bigger than that. That’s because it also includes the Cincinnati Gives Online Fund-raising Challenge, powered by Crowdrise. Open to all nonprofits, the challenge is designed to reach the region’s most passionate philanthropists while generating a significant monetary impact for the organizations that participate.
Who Benefits?
Local nonprofit organizations sign up to participate in the challenge. Visit crowdrise.com/cincinnatigives to see which charities are taking part. The nonprofit that raises the most funds during the challenge period is awarded a cash prize on top of the money they’ve already collected.
