MANSFIELD – Registration for Richland Gives, an online giving event hosted by the Richland County Foundation (RCF), opens August 1. It is free; however, Richland County based nonprofits must register each year.  

Thanks to the generosity of donors of the Foundation, $80,000 in incentives will be awarded as grants to participating organizations, beyond what they raise from online donations.

Richland Gives is designed to encourage people to contribute to local nonprofits they care about through a single giving website. The Foundation hosts the day to build capacity, grow philanthropy and make the community stronger.

Each organization will have an individualized web page to promote their cause. The success of the event will depend on our collective enthusiasm and implementation.  

Leading up to the event, the Foundation provides an online toolkit, education, mass media and social media coverage to make it easier for nonprofit organizations to participate.

The Richland Gives donation period is from November 17 at 7 a.m. through December 2 at 7 p.m.
