OPELIKA —
Envision Opelika Foundation recently selected 13 nonprofit organizations to participate in the fifth annual Opelika Giving Day. Opelika Giving Day is a 24-hour online fundraiser. This year the 24-hour period will run from May 10 at noon until May 11 at noon.
“We’re excited about the nonprofits and their projects, especially since they represent such a wide range of interests to Opelika citizens,” said Susan Brinson, chair of Envision Opelika Foundation.
Since its inception, Opelika Giving Day has helped raise nearly $150,000 for more than 25 nonprofit projects in or serving Opelika.
The 2023 selected nonprofits are as follows:
– Alabama Rural Ministry
– Circles of Opelika
– Creekline Trails of Opelika
– Curtis House
– East Alabama Arts Association
– Friends of Wood Duck Nature Preserve
– O Grows
– Opelika Bicycle Advisory Committee
– Opelika Community Theatre
– Southside Center for the Arts
– Twin Cedars Child Advocacy Center
– Village Friends
– Women’s Hope Clinic.
Each of these groups applied to participate in Opelika Giving Day. They were required to submit a specific project with a budget. Donations must be used for that project and cannot be used for operational expenses.
With just a short time before the event, there will be many posts about the fundraisers, updates and informational stories shared on the Opelika Giving Day website, Facebook page and Instagram for potential donors to become familiar with the partnering organizations and their projects. The organizations will also be hosting their own posts on their sites. For more information visit www.opelikagivingday.org or email EnvisionOpelikaGivingDay@gmail.com.
