Give!Guide Campaign

What’s Give!Guide?
Willamette Week’s Give!Guide is an annual print and online publication intended to encourage year-end charitable giving by showcasing Portland-based nonprofit organizations. The original intent of WW's Give!Guide was to introduce its young readers to the year-end charitable giving habit. Today, readers 35 and under provide 30% of all Give!Guide donations - it's a great way to introduce friends and family members to the gift of giving.  Last yer, WW readers gave $2,452,333 to 129 organizations.

What Makes Give!Guide Special?
Give!Guide makes giving giving fun and extra rewarding by offering many incentives for contributions. All contributors who give at least $10 at any time during Give!Guide season earn an incentive, ranging from free tacos to discounts at Portland area-businesses.

But what Give!Guide is especially known for is their “Big Give” days: predetermined days during which any donor who makes a gift of at least $10 that day has an opportunity to be chosen at random to win a special incentive prize. Big Give prizes this year include a a Powell's Books shopping spree, a Thorn and Timbers ticket package, a new bike from Bike Gallery, and a Salt & Straw Ice Cream party for you and 200 friends!  Follow the Donate Life Northwest Facebook page for alerts to upcoming "Big Give" Days!

Great - Now What?
Donate Life Northwest is proud to have been selected for Give!Guide for the first time this year. If you have been thinking about making a year-end gift to Donate Life Northwest, doing so through Donate Life Northwest's Give!Guide page is a great, fun way to do so. Plus, DLNW is offering our own incentives to thank and encourage giving: the first 30 $10+ contributors to Donate Life Northwest through Give!Guide will receive a gift from Tofurky
