This November, the GivingTuesday movement is running #MyGivingStory, a new storytelling contest
that will highlight acts of generosity that may take place out of the public
spotlight. They are asking individuals across the country to share their
personal reasons for giving, and then share those stories with their communities.
As a supporter of the PVs we’d be honored if you would take
this opportunity to reflect upon your commitment to our work. Winners will
receive GlobalGiving gift cards ranging from $100-$500. The nonprofit they
write about in their essay will receive $1,000-$5,000 grants.
How to enter #MyGivingStory:
- Go to the contest entry form(http://woobox.com/kxdcce) or visit the #MyGivingStory tab on #GivingTuesday’s Facebook page.
- Post a short essay (200 words or more) responding to the question, “What inspires you to give?”
- In it, tell the story of a specific instance in which you supported a nonprofit organization in a way that was meaningful to you.
- Submit your essay by November 24
- Share and promote your submission on social media with #MyGivingStory and #Giving Tuesday
Contact info@givingtuesday.org with any
questions!
Thank you for your
support of the PVs. We are really excited
about #MyGivingStory and hope you will participate and share all the
wonderful work you do in the name of the PVs with your family, your
friends, and the world!
