Louisville will return for its 10th year.
Can you believe that?
And the organization wants you to know
you now have the chance to regir
your business, your organizatio,
for the area's most generous day of giving.
Joining us now with more on how
you can get involved is Jessica
Holman and Valerie Sickles.
Ladies, I can't believe 10 year.
I here we are like knocking on
the door of it. It's exciting.
It's very exciting, very exciti.
Well, you think over 10 years.
Probably what started small and
has now built to what over 500
organizations that participate,
yes, so we have.
We average about
550 organizations every year.
Forgive for good.
It's so great and just think wht
what change has that had overall
in this community? I can't even.
We can even quantify that,
yeah. Well, over the years we've been
able to mobilize over 137,000 people,
which has resulted in over $50
million back into the community
to the organizations that are
doing the great work every day.
Well, we are so proud to always be a part
of it and we're excited to be back again.
You know, it's coming up in September.
So we're going to feature a lotf
the organizations and and and the why
why give on that that important.
But for people that may not be familiar,
like what is Give for Good and
and how does it make a differene
in this community overall?
It's more than just
the online day,
ever a day of online giving.
It's about the community.
Kentucky and are coming together
and celebrating the good work tt
these organizations are doing.
And some have been doing it for
a long time and some are new.
And so it's just a great celebrn
and we hope everyone can get involved.
And now is your time, right?
If you want to be a part of it,
you want to be a business or
or a nonprofit or whatever
to be a part of it, you can.
You can sign up now.
Yes, registration
is now open until July 1st,
and we encourage everyone to
register early so they can take
advantage of the Giving Day worp
that is coming up on June 27th.
And that shows them what the the house and
wise of how to navigate that day. Best
practices for navigating here
for good Louisville to maximize
their donor participation,
and so forth so. Register
early. Yeah, you can participate because
there are like what I've always noticed,
like especially last year,
I'm like the creative ways that so many
the businesses come up with match this.
And if we do this, we'll do tha.
But I'm like, how did they comep
with these ideas from the works?
Probably that's where they
got so many of the ideas.
Another thing that I noticed
that I'm excited to see again,
it's just how many,
how many businesses and nonprofs
it kind of gives life to.
So you think of maybe organizations that
would not be around if it were not for this.
This day truly funds their agena
for the year in many ways,
kind of the importance of
of why get for good?
Absolutely. Like I said,
there's veterans and then
there's new new organizations ad
they've been doing really well,
but working with their support p
to give on this very special da,
just like you said,
to keep the funding going.
It's unlimited funds and they're able to.
Service the community?
Yeah, they
are. And better. I think too.
Just by getting involved, you fl
you feel like you're doing your part.
Like me is the donor.
Just to be able to say I help
this organization and it may fel
so small to me, but I know that.
It's just, it's not just me.
It's lots of people in the community.
There's just this great sense
of pride that we are doing
something to better our communi.
Don't you feel that too?
I do, I do. And also,
it's a great way to get new don,
have new friends, new supporter,
and just talk about what's
going on currently in your
future initiatives. Yeah,
I think too. It reminds us that
Kentucky and its community is g.
We are good people doing good
things with great businesses and
just makes you smile, right?
