FOUR STEPS TO REGISTER FOR BDOG2019!
|
|
Attending an orientation is the first step to register your organization for next year's Big Day of Giving on May 2, 2019!
During orientation, you'll
meet the BDOG team from the
Sacramento Region Community Foundation
, learn about the purpose of our region's annual giving day, hear what's new for the coming year, get the low-down on important requirements, and connect with others from the nonprofit community!
Once you complete a Big Day of Giving orientation, you'll be prepared to finish the final three steps to #BDOG2019 participation: register online, pay the registration fee, and submit your nonprofit's GivingEdge profile!
FIRST THINGS FIRST: ATTEND AN ORIENTATION!
Please remember that every organization must attend an orientation this year, regardless of its past BDOG participation.
Sign up for the in-person orientation that best suits your schedule below. Remember that all in-person orientations are hosted at
KVIE, 2030 West El Camino Avenue in Sacramento.

ONLINE ORIENTATION NOW AVAILABLE!
We
highly recommend
that new organizations and new Team Captains attend one of the in-person orientations listed above. Not only do we want to meet you, but in-person orientations provide the best opportunities for you to meet and begin collaborating with your nonprofit peers! If you are unable to attend an in-person orientation, you can complete the online orientation it in the
BDOG Toolkit
. Remember that the
deadline to complete the online orientation is December 31, 2018
.

THE EARLY DOG GETS THE BONE!
|
|
This year we are introducing the “Early Dog Gets the Bone” prize! All organizations that submit their initial GivingEdge profiles by
December 31, 2018
, will be entered to win a $500 prize during BDOG2019, and there will be ten total awarded! Please note that your organization's profile must be 100% completed (including all required fields) to the best of your ability in order to be eligible.
|
|
WHAT'S BEHIND THIS PRIZE?
|
Last year, 74% of BDOG2018 nonprofits submitted their GivingEdge profiles during the four weeks leading up to the final profile submission deadline. We found that this put a strain on the GivingEdge reviewers, giving them less time to work with organizations to strengthen their GivingEdge profiles. Because 70% of BDOG2018 donors said they relied on GivingEdge profiles when they made their donations, we want to ensure every organization has a top-notch profile!
