We know that all of us have had our lives changed, challenged and inconvenienced due to Covid-19, but those less fortunate in our community need our help now!
Working with the Daniel Island Rotary Club and the Daniel Island Community Fund, the Daniel Island Community Foundation is asking you to join the partnership and help fund three local nonprofit organizations who service immediate needs for the disadvantaged in our area. Daniel Island property owners’ donations are requested with an opportunity for a 3 for 1 match. The first $2,500 of aggregate donations will be matched dollar for dollar by The Rotary Club of Daniel Island AND matched two-for-one by the Daniel Island Community Fund.
Below are the three organizations who are in urgent need who will be benefiting from this fundraising challenge:
East Cooper Community Outreach (ECCO)
All three of these organizations are feeling the pressure as service requests have significantly increased in the last 3 weeks. These organizations and their volunteers are working tirelessly, risking their lives to help those who need them the most.
With this matching challenge, each organization has the potential to receive a donation of at least $10,000. Daniel Island property owner donations of up to $2,500 will be matched by the Daniel Island Rotary Club. Once the total reaches $5,000, the Daniel Island Community Fund will match up to $5,000 for each of the three organizations listed above. Your $1 donation turns into a $3 dollar donation.
In less than 24 hours each organization has met their matching goal! As of today, April 21st at 3 PM, we have raised a total of $49,305 (including matches).
We are not stopping now – this challenge will continue through May 1st. Let’s see how much we can raise for these three deserving organizations!
Donating is easy! Click the name of the organization you want to donate to above and you will be redirected to our online donation platform, Donate2It.
We are asking the community to please join us in funding for these basic human needs. Help us spread the word and if you can, donate to these deserving nonprofits so that they continue to help those in need.
This challenge match ends May 1, 2020.
