Forty-four local nonprofit organizations will participate in the seventh annual 1BurkeGives fundraising drive on Tuesday, Dec. 1.
The 24-hour online event, hosted and sponsored by Burke County United Way, runs from midnight to 11:59 p.m. at 1BurkeGives.org. The platform allows donors to contribute to multiple participating 501©(3) charities serving Burke County within a single transaction.
Over the past six years, the event has generated between $50,000 and $100,000 annually for local causes. The initiative began in 2020 to support regional agencies during the COVID-19 pandemic and is provided free of charge to participating nonprofits.
The event coincides with Giving Tuesday, the national day of charitable giving. Burke County and municipal governments across the county also officially recognize the date as Burke County Nonprofit Day.
Throughout the day, donors can track donations via a live leaderboard on the website, participate in peer-to-peer campaigns, and help organizations qualify for cash prize incentives awarded during specific giving windows.
This year’s event also marks the 70th anniversary of Burke County United Way, which was established in 1956.
Residents can view participating organizations and donate on Dec. 1 at 1BurkeGives.org. Additional information on the hosting organization can be found at bcuw.org.
