Make Donations in Utah
As with nonprofits all over the world, donations are the sustenance of charitable organizations in Utah. The money provided by donors is critical for the operations and executions of important goals and events, regardless of whether the organization is grassroots or has been around for decades.
Community partners like Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah can offer the impactful, far-reaching services they provide because of the generous support of contributions.
Larger donations or numerous gifts are the most useful, right?
The correct answer is that all donations in Utah are valued, regardless of the size or amount given.
Financial gifts or in-kind donations (e.g., clothes, food, school supplies, meeting spaces, etc.) are received with appreciation and put to work. Charitable organizations have lots of moving parts. Whether large or small, contributions are used in every capacity, from fundraising to outreach to overhead and administrative costs. Nonprofits understand that $1.00 is just as precious as $1,000,000 or that a bag of apples is needed as a basket of groceries. “Something like two-thirds of Americans give…—and we’re seeing giving across the income spectrum,” says Dr. Una Osili, research director at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy…”Small gifts can have a big impact.”
And that’s not all. Small donations can also create new connections. Givers who are not familiar with a nonprofit might donate because of the causes they have in common. Mike Montalto, a contributing writer to Amplifi, a communications firm for nonprofits, states, “…small gift donors can provide tremendous long-term value if you follow up effectively and grow relationships over time.”
Nonprofits rely on donations of all sizes to help them further their mission, which is to serve.
Large or small, donate today.
