BLACKSBURG – This June, thousands of people are expected to participate in the New River Valley’s (NRV) annual GiveLocalNRV Giving Day. Hosted by the Community Foundation of the New River Valley (CFNRV), this year’s 24-hour fundraising event will kick off at noon on Wednesday, June 26 and end at noon on Thursday, June 27.
Participating community organizations that serve the NRV signed up in the spring for this event. This allows them to use the GiveLocalNRV website (givelocalnrv.org) for free to raise funds and awareness for their missions. Early giving for this event opened on June 1, enabling participants to fundraise most of June in the lead up to the 24-hour event.
“This year, we have a record 130 organizations participating in the giving day. The list is made up of 501(c)3 nonprofits and units of government (such as animal shelters), all of whom are making an impact on our community in different ways”, said Lindsey Gleason, the CFNRV’s assistant director. “Whatever you are interested in – the environment, education, animals, arts and culture, health, issues related to poverty, and more – we have participants working in these areas.”
Organizations in six localities across the NRV are participating, including Floyd (21 organizations), Giles (7), Montgomery (59), Pulaski (17), Radford (7), and Wythe (6.) An additional 13 organizations headquartered outside of our region who provide services in the NRV, are participating. A full list of this year’s participants is below.
Fueling the excitement of the day are the $20,000 in grants and prizes provided by the CFNRV and corporate sponsors. The event’s lead sponsor is National Bank of Blacksburg. Our other generous sponsors are Atlantic Union Bank, First Bank & Trust, Carilion New River Valley Medical Center, Carter Bank & Trust, Olio Financial Planning, Automation Creations, Inc., Legacy Builders NRV, Inc., LewisGale Hospital Montgomery, and Brown Insurance.
