Giving Tuesday Match Update: You Raised $30,000+ for LA Nonprofits
PostedThank you to everyone who participated in our Giving Tuesday Match last weeks.
This is our sixth year offering a match – and, as always, the LA2050 community showed up to support local nonprofits. We are ecstatic to share that, together, we raised more than $30,000!
Some fast facts from our 2024 Giving Tuesday Match:
- $20,000+ donated
- 175 individual donors contributed
- 186 total donations made
- 78 organizations received donations
- 30 organizations with two or more donations
- $10,000 match from the Goldhirsh Foundation
Your donations make a real impact! Check out these notes of appreciation from the leaders of two organizations that benefited from this year’s match.
First, Amy Vu, Co-Executive Director of FEAST, the group that raised the most in this year's match:
"Thank you to LA2050 and the Goldhirsh Foundation for helping FEAST double our impact on Giving Tuesday. We couldn't do our work without your support! "
Next, Aldra Robinson, Grants Manager of Inner City Law Center, the organization which received second highest number of individual donations:
“Thank you for joining Inner City Law Center in being a champion for housing justice. Your support makes a difference for the most vulnerable Angelenos.”
Since we began our Giving Tuesday Match program in 2019, we have officially raised more than $190,000+ via our LA2050 Ideas Hub!
The LA2050 Ideas Hub is a searchable database of great organizations and bright ideas from all of the LA2050 Grants Challenges. The Ideas Hub includes more than 2,600 social impact organizations based in Los Angeles, working on issues from housing and homelessness to domestic violence, environmental protection, and STEAM education. While the Ideas Hub gets the most love during our Giving Tuesday Match, it is available all year long. That means you can donate to your favorite organizations, or discover new ones, at any time.
Thank you to Pledge for powering the donation widget that makes the match possible. And, an extra special thank you to each and every one of you who participated this year. Your generosity and kinship means the world to us, and to the organizations you supported.
