Main Street Lansing participating in Great Give Day this Thursday

Main Street Lansing will be participating in Great Give Day with the Allamakee County Community Foundation. Scheduled for Thursday, May 13, Great Give Day is a 24-hour online giving event established by the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque to celebrate and support local nonprofits and build a stronger community. Since 2014, Great Give Day has raised more than $2,000,000 for regional nonprofits; last year alone saw $340,000 in donations.

Community members are invited to visit GreatGiveDay.org online to support Main Street Lansing (and other area nonprofit organizations) with online donations of $10 or more. Gifts can be made May 13 or scheduled beginning May 10.

Great Give Day donations are 100% tax deductible. Gifts will go farther in Allamakee County, as the Allamakee County Community Foundation will provide a $250 match to any Allamakee County nonprofit that raises $250. Additionally, participating nonprofits will be eligible for hourly prizes based on the amount of gifts they receive.

“If you are able, we invite you to invest in our program and help us continue to serve the fantastic Lansing community,” shared Main Street Lansing Executive Director Andy Kelleher. “Support from caring citizens like you makes our work possible.”
