FAQ’s
How do I make a donation?
On Tuesday, May 1, 2018, go to www.givelocalpiedmont.org and type in the name of the nonprofit(s) to which you want to give. If you are looking for a charity to support, you can search by category. Your chosen nonprofit will have a donation page on www.givelocalpiedmont.org where you can choose the amount you want to donate from $10 and up. New this year: donors can schedule their donations up to two weeks ahead of the event, beginning April 17th!
What forms of payment are accepted?
While the purpose of the online giving day is to encourage the use of secure and easy online philanthropy, we understand that some prefer to donate via check. Checks will be counted towards an organization’s final donation total, however only online donations are eligible to compete for prizes. Checks must be made out to Northern Piedmont Community Foundation, with the designated charity written in the memo line. Checks will be accepted only at designated locations in the four counties between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on MAy 1, 2018. The drop-off locations will be announced in the near future. The cut-off time for checks is 5:00 p.m. in the four counties. Checks not made out to NPCF or delivered after 5:00 p.m. will not count in the Give Local Piedmont total. If a donor is giving to more than one nonprofit, each donation should be a separate check.
Are donations tax-deductible?
All donations are tax-deductible and irrevocable and will be for the unrestricted use of your chosen charity (see additional information under “How will a donor receive acknowledgement of their gift?”). Your receipt will say “Give Local Piedmont” on it and funds will go through the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation. Funds are then disbursed to your chosen charities.
What is a “unique donation”?
Certain prizes will be awarded to organizations based on the number of unique gifts of $10 or more. A unique donation is defined as one gift of $10 or more to one organization from one donor. Multiple donations made by the same donor to different organizations will count as one unique gift to each organization. Donations from different people in the same household will count as unique gifts.
