The excitement is building as we get closer and closer to September 15! Stay tuned for some big announcements that we’ll be making on Facebook over the next few weeks. If you haven’t already done so, make sure you stay connected by “liking” us @waterstep or signing up for our newsletter here.
Give Local Louisville is organized by the Community Foundation of Louisville, and is the biggest day of online giving in our community. You can make your gift between 12:00 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, September 15 by clicking here. This year the incentive pool is over $200,000 and includes more prizes. Unique gifts (1 gift of $10 or more) can be made multiple times throughout the day by the same donor, which increases the chance of prizes. Giving isn’t limited to only those in Louisville, so please share this opportunity with your friends and family
Please read below for specific details on the prizes, and contact Jessi about how to maximize the impact of your gift.
