Opportunities for Businesses

Every day, Washington nonprofits provide vital services and enrich our lives. When you join the GiveBIG campaign, your business supports more than 1,500 nonprofits that benefit people, families, and communities across Washington State! Here's how you can get involved:

Promote GiveBIG 2024

GiveBIG is May 7-8, 2024, with the early giving period beginning on April 23. There are several ways your business can help promote the 2024 campaign, which raised $12.8 million for our state last year:

  • Encourage your network to give.
  • Donate a GiveBIG prize to incentivize donors.
  • Become a sponsor (see below).

Employees and customers value companies that support nonprofit causes and help employees deepen their engagement in their communities. By joining GiveBIG, you demonstrate and act on your company's values and amplify the work of nonprofits to reach new supporters and raise needed funds.

Create a Team Page

Your business can create a Team Page that raises funds on behalf of an organization whose mission aligns with your philanthropic goals.

Just set up this page, set a goal, and promote it to your employees, who can then share it with their friends, family, and neighbors. Your business can even offer to match your employees' contributions, which further incentivizes giving! Even if you do not already have an established corporate matching gift program, we can easily help you set one up!

For more information or to sign up, contact Greg Scully at greg@501commons.org.

Start a Community Campaign

If you are a foundation, business, nonprofit, or community group that's passionate about serving a particular region, group of people, or mission focus, you can start a Community Campaign on behalf of organizations serving a common cause!

A Community Campaign is a specially tailored page that highlights a collection of nonprofit organizations of your choosing. Whether you want to support food banks, performing arts groups, nonprofits in a certain county, or every organization that serves our LGBTQ+ friends, Community Campaigns are a convenient way for donors to find nonprofits that fit their personal passions.

Become a GiveBIG Sponsor

We invite businesses to join our generous sponsors and media partners in underwriting the costs of the public campaign that brings GiveBIG to the attention of millions of people in Washington State. Awareness of our state's largest philanthropic event is promoted through digital and print advertising, the involvement of radio hosts and sports champions, social media, and the communications of the 1,500 participating organizations. Last year's public campaign produced 44 million impressions!

To start a conversation, contact Nancy Long at nancy@501commons.org.

Sponsor a GiveBIG prize

Prizes are a fantastic way to incentivize donors to give and get your company’s name out there to the wider community. Your sponsorship helps fuel the excitement around GiveBIG and inspires nonprofits to lean into the campaign. We have options for you to sponsor a “Power Hour” where nonprofits can get into a friendly competition to attract the most donors during a particular hour.

Email Greg Scully at greg@501commons.org to start a conversation about sponsoring a prize.
