Web-a-thon Raises Half a Million for Nonprofits

The Give BIG San Bernardino County web-a-thon raised a total of $548,214 from 2,465 individuals making 3,533 donations to the participating 262 nonprofits throughout our county, exceeding the goal of raising $300,000. These nonprofits offer a variety of services from education to healthcare to recreational activities. Give Big is a 24-hour online give day throughout San Bernardino County that raises funds for the local nonprofits that serve our communities. This was our county’s first ever dedicated day of giving and this philanthropic effort was meant to build a culture of philanthropy in our community. San Bernardino County nonprofits are significantly underfunded by foundations and state and federal departments. Information about the Give BIG campaign can be found at www.givebigsbcounty.org.
