What is it?
Arizona Gives Day is an annual opportunity for Arizonan’s to support non-profit organizations that make a difference in our community.
First started in 2013, the collaboration between the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits and the Arizona Grantmakers has helped raise more than $23 million for Arizona’s nonprofit organizations. This year, it looks like the total given statewide will break the $7 million dollar mark- the highest yet! (It was just over $6 million in 2020).
While the website is available to accept donations year-round, the annual online giving campaign takes place in early April each year. Donors can engage in a variety of ways, from setting up pre-scheduled or recurring donations, to utilizing the website search features to find nonprofits based on what is important to them (location, mission of the organization, and so on).
2021 Impact:
For 2021, AZPetVet partnered with Gabriel’s Angels and sponsored a donation power hour: We agreed to match any donations made between 4 & 5PM up to a total of $2,500. During our power hour, community members donated $3,585.20 – maxing out our contribution!
With the combined give, the funds raised will nearly sponsor two new pet therapy teams within Gabriel’s Angels! Each therapy team impacts an average of 80-100 children each year. We are proud to support the mission of Gabriel’s Angels as we all know the positive impact pets can have!
