Be Sure to Give Local on May 3  

On Tuesday, May 3 for 24-hours only, you can multiply the impact of your gift to your favorite nonprofits working right here in Doddridge County!   Your donations on May 3 through www.GiveLocalMOV.org enable your favorite nonprofits to earn significant matching funds and cash prizes.  

 Give Local MOV is powered by the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation & Regional Affiliates (PACF) which provides the secure on-line giving platform, underwrites campaign costs, and provides education for its nonprofit partners.  Many generous community supporters, led by Superior Toyota, the Mary M. Welch Advised Fund of the PACF, and Tri-State Roofing and Sheet Metal supplied the critical matching funds.  In addition to the matching funds, hourly cash prizes sponsored by various local businesses reward nonprofits whose supporters contribute throughout the day.   

 A total of 63 participating nonprofits are initially assigned a share of the matching funds, then, donors who contribute on-line May 3 will have their gifts matched 1:1 up to the allotted share.  Should any organizations not claim their full allocation of matching funds after the 24 hours, the PACF then proportionately allocates the remaining funds among nonprofits that exceeded their initial share.  Our region’s nonprofits address many important issues that affect our community; this is a once-a-year opportunity to help them in a big way!

 Participating from Doddridge County, Doddridge County 4-H,  Doddridge County Park, Doddridge County Humane Society and Doddridge County Community Foundation 

 Visit www.GiveLocalMOV.org today to see the full list of sponsors and learn more about all the participating nonprofits.   Then, return to the website on May 3 to make your on-line donation.  For more details or to help sponsor this important campaign, contact PACF’s Development and Communications Officer, Julie Posey at 304-428-4438.
