Please join AYR on May 2nd for The Annual Seattle Foundation’s GiveBig Event. Their goal is to turn out thousands of donors to show support for the nonprofit organizations in our area. Plus, if you donate that day, The Seattle Foundation is able to boost your original donation. This matching boost will depend on the percentage of funds that each organization has donated in their name. Last year, the average boost was 14%. The more we raise, the larger our percentage of matching funds will be. The donation time for this special event is from Midnight to Midnight on May 2nd.
