The Louisiana Association of Non Profit Organizations will hold 24 hour campaigns in Baton Rouge and Acadiana urging people to give to their favorite non-profit organization during Giving Tuesday. LANO’s Director of Business Development Emilie McBride says their hope is that people open their hearts and donate.
Give Baton Rouge raised over 53-thousand-dollars for 96 non-profits in it’s inaugural year. This year, they are adding Give Acadiana to join them on Giving Tuesday. McBride says this day goes deeper than just raising money. It helps to increase the community’s awareness of nonprofit agencies and their work.
McBride says it’s open to any non-profit agency that is in good standing with the Secretary of State’s office. She says it’s easy for anyone to become involved in Giving Tuesday.
