GIVE BAYOU – MAY 2, 2017

The 24-hour online giving event known as “GiveNOLA Day” and sponsored by the Greater New Orleans Foundation is set for Tuesday, May 2, 2017.

This year, 53 nonprofit organizations from Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishes are participating, and donors everywhere have an opportunity to give online to these organizations on May 2. Donations start at only $10!

The Bayou Community Foundation is able to accept online gifts this year, and we are also promoting all 53 participating local nonprofits through the “Give Bayou” campaign.  In addition, a portion of all money that BCF raises on May 2 will be shared by the 53 participating Give Bayou nonprofits.  You Give, We Give, Our Community Wins!
