Ready, Set, Give – Monterey County Gives! 2016
Leverage Your Year-End Giving
Monterey County Gives! is a community fundraising effort linking donors with participating area nonprofits. This year it kicks off with more than $600,000 in matching funds and challenge gifts. Now it’s your turn to support the “Big Ideas” of 123 local nonprofits.
It’s a great way to leverage your year-end giving. In addition to donations directed to their organization, each agency receives an additional pro-rata match based on the total amount raised. More than $8 million has been granted through MC Gives! since 2009.
The power of Gives! resides in the thousands of donors who make the choice to give, whether small gifts or large. All are meaningful and speak to what happens when a community gives together.” – Dan Baldwin, President/CEO, Community Foundation for Monterey County

About the Monterey County Weekly Community Fund
Monterey County Weekly has had a direct relationship with the nonprofit community for over 25 years. It supports and promotes those who work directly within our community to improve the quality of life for all. Monterey County Weekly witnesses, reports, and collaborates with nonprofits to promote their events and programs, so they may communicate and carry out their mission. Since 2000, the Weekly supported the nonprofit community in another way. It took action and established the Monterey County Weekly Community Fund, a donor advised fund at the CFMC. This fund is structured to support the change nonprofits create through an annual appeal to the Weekly’s generous readers for year-end donations.
