Modern fundraising
Santa Cruz Gives is a holiday fundraising program founded in 2015 in Santa Cruz County. The goal is to create a local network of donors and increase giving via crowdsourcing, as we are able to reach more donors. By making it easy to give to various nonprofits on one site, we hope to inspire donors to dig a little deeper and give a little more than they might otherwise.
Santa Cruz Gives is project-based. Donors will be motivated by both the mission of an organization and a special project chosen for this campaign. At SantaCruzGives.org, each nonprofit has a profile page, it’s simple to use the shopping cart to give, and the leaderboard makes it exciting to watch your favorite nonprofits tick up in donations as totals are tracked in real time.
Browse the individual pages and get fired up about some great objectives for the holiday season and 2024!
