The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee again hosts one of the biggest online giving events in the area with The Big Payback 2017.
During the past three years, The Big Payback has raised more than $6.5 million for nearly 800 local non-profit organizations, including schools, arts entities, religious operations and beyond.
This year, the community-wide 24-hour online giving challenge takes place on May 3, 2017. There’s a brand-new software platform, and the Community Foundation welcomes back its biggest sponsors to help with donation matching.
HOW IT WORKS
From midnight to midnight on May 3, 2017, you can visit thebigpayback.org make financial donations to participating non-profits, schools and religious institutions located and/or providing services in the 40 counties of Middle Tennessee.
