Giving Tuesday Donations

GivingTuesday Background

Started in 2012, GivingTuesday is a global day of generosity that takes place on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving each year. This year, it will take place on December 1, 2020. Each year, nonprofits of all sizes can leverage the momentum created by this National Day of Giving to engage their existing supporters and (hopefully!) find new ones.

CCF is partnering with CityView and other local media to encourage Cumberland County residents to give local on this GivingTuesday by directing potential donors to explore the online GivingTuesday catalog.

Matching Gift Details

CCF will match up to $100,000 donated on GivingTuesday as follows:

  • Gifts that will be matched:
    • Gifts received by Cumberland Community Foundation between November 24-December 3, 2020
    • Gifts made through the online giving catalog at www.cumberlandcf.org
    • Gifts from CCF donor advised funds recommended between the dates above
    • Checks made payable to CCF (with the designated organization in the “Memo”), dated AND received by CCF between the dates above
    • Charitable IRA rollovers from donors over 70 ½ (direct transfers to Cumberland Community Foundation with the memo “GivingTuesday/Grantee Name” that are received between the dates above)
    • The minimum gift amount is $25.00
  • Gifts that will not be matched:
    • Gifts from the organization itself
    • Stock gifts
    • Cash gifts
  • Other notes:
    • If the total amount raised during GivingTuesday is $100,000 or less, the match will be dollar-for-dollar. If the total raised is greater than $100,000, your organization’s match will be allocated in proportion to the percent of the total contributions received to the catalog. Example: If your organization’s catalog entry raises $7,000 and the total raised for *all* organizations is $72,000, your organization will receive a $7,000 match. However, if your organization raises $7,000 and the total raised for *all* is $150,000, then your organization will receive a $4,670 match. (7,000/150,000=.0467 and 4.67% of $100,000=$4,670.)
    • All donations and matching gifts can be used as unrestricted dollars for your organization.
