As we wrap up 2019 and prepare for 2020 let’s take a look back at some of the articles and topics we covered this year and to take a moment to acknowledge the winners of our Year End / Giving Tuesday template contest!
Each year we have a #GivingTuesday tradition by holding our Online Payments Year End / Giving Tuesday donation page contest for clients using our products to host their donation pages. Greater Giving is committed to helping organizations quickly and easily launch a #GivingTuesday or Year End campaign with our Online Payments template. We were thrilled to share that Match Circles of Chicago of the Greater Capital Region in New York won our $500 prize. We also donated $100 prizes to five runners-up Aspire Chicago, Women’s Lunch Place, The Christmas Box International, Century High School (Bismarck, North Dakota) C-Club.
