In case you missed it!

Early donating for Giving is Gorges is now open!

Thank you to everyone who came out to Celebration 2022 yesterday. We had a wonderful time seeing all of you in person and celebrating all of the accomplishments that were made. We hope that everyone enjoyed themselves and the ice cream and sorbet provided by Cornell Dairy. It's with happy hearts that we would like to let everyone know that early donations are currently being accepted on Giving is Gorges. The full campaign which starts officially on the 21st of June, is a wonderful opportunity to support to those organizations that make a difference locally.

Giving back to the community is one of the most rewarding experiences a person can have. For some, that might mean volunteering their time. For others, it might mean donating money or items. No matter what form giving takes, it always feels good to help others in need.

We are excited to report that 43 nonprofit organizations have already registered for Giving is Gorges which is designed to help local organizations with their fundraising efforts. The success of this program over the past few years has been amazing, and we are excited to see the impact of these efforts in our local community.

If you are looking for a way to give, we encourage you can review the list of registered agencies and you can also donate to United Way of Tompkins County's Community Care Fund. Your donation will help local organizations make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

About Giving is Gorges

The purpose of this powerful giving experience is to unite our community members around causes in which they truly believe and support local nonprofit organizations doing important, impactful work.

Giving is Gorges, established in 2015 by GiveGab and collaborative group of community leaders, is now hosted by United Way of Tompkins County with Visions Federal Credit Union sponsoring the event on the GiveGab platform. As with all United Way donor designations, 100% of donor gifts will go to their chosen nonprofits.

On June 21 -- a powerful day and traditionally United Way's "Day of Action" -- we will collectively generate excitement and multiply resources for organizations doing great work all over Tompkins County. This is a unique opportunity to highlight how we can work together to share commitments and build a stronger sense of community.

Please help us spread the word about this impactful day as we continue to encourage Tompkins County to give gorges-ly.
