Four types of donations are allowed for this event: online donations made through givelocalnrv.org, checks, cash, and wire transfers. Please see below for more details.
Accepted Online Donations
Accepted "Offline" Donations
Donation Window (June 1 to noon on June 27)
While the giving day event begins at noon on June 26, early giving opens on June 1. This allows nonprofits to fundraise for almost the entire month of June should they wish to. Any donation received through the GiveLocalNRV website between June 1 and noon on June 27 (when the event ends) counts toward your organization's giving day totals.
Additionally, if your organization receives offline donations (cash, checks, or wire transfers) during that time period, they are eligible to be added to your giving day totals provided the donation is received AND dated between June 1 - 27. All offline donations must be added to the system by noon on June 27 to count.
The full Terms of Use agreement can be found on this page: https://www.mightycause.com/terms.
Please be aware that Mightycause's terms and conditions prohibit use of the platform for donation giveaways/incentives or other sellable items in return for donating. In other words, you can’t use the platform for a “give-to-get” campaign (e.g., things like “give $25 and you’ll get a t-shirt” are not allowed on the platform, nor can you sell items using the platform, such as event tickets.)

Please note that which donations count for the grants and prizes varies.

Others are "Online Donations Only", meaning that only online donations made through givelocalnrv.org count.
