As we navigate an ongoing health crisis and limited in-person interactions, it’s as important as ever to find creative ways to give back to those in need and help people get access to necessary resources.
If you’re looking to give back to the community this fall, consider participating in drives and fundraisers through Giving Digitized, a platform that helps charities connect with the public and find volunteers in a fully virtual setting.
From September 15th to October 15th, Giving Digitized is hosting a Back to School & Grocery Drive. As a fully virtual drive, supporters can purchase items and make donations that will go directly to the nonprofit organizations. Here’s how you can join this month and get started!
Individuals/volunteers
There is no fee to join as a supporter or volunteer! You can simply sign up on their site to start supporting local charities.
Campaign Sponsors
Looking to be a sponsor? Giving Digitized offers three sponsorship packages that include months-long placements on their website, inclusion on press releases, several custom drives, free virtual drive access for a variety of charities, and hundreds of meals provided to Feeding America.
To start the sponsorship process, schedule a 15-minute call through their site to speak with a representative and learn more details!
Participating in upcoming drives
Looking to participate in October and November drives? Get started as soon as possible!
Upcoming drives include their Toy & Coat Drive from October 15th to November 15th, and again from November 15th to December 15th.
Charities/Non-profits
If you’re a charity looking to join virtual drives to receive donations and assistance, Giving Digitized is offering free Beginner plans for the first 100 nonprofits who sign up, with drive sponsorship obtained in September-October!
Nonprofits must elect to be part of the pre-set virtual drive 30-60 days ahead of the drive. If you need last-minute accommodations, you can contact them directly; there will be a nominal fee. Pre-set drives change once per quarter, so there’s always time to join the next one!
As a participant of virtual drives, charities will receive access to in-kind donation details for year end financials and digital case management referral capabilities for those in need (for housing, dental, medical, upskilling, and career placement).
Corporate/Groups
If you’re joining as a group or work for a company that wants to get involved, Giving Digitized offers a $75 membership for groups to support one virtual drive per month and send 10 meals to Feeding America. Impact reports will be provided monthly to help with logistics.
Giving Digitized makes giving back simple for charities and community members from logistics to distribution. Find more information about Giving Digitized and how you can join on their website –givingbackeasily.com. You can also find them on Instagram and Facebook.
