Stories
December 7th, 2021 - The results are in! For Giving Tuesday 2021:
$5.49 million was given to nonprofits
8,000 items were purchased from wish lists
500 volunteer hours were logged
You - the givers that made this happen - along with Omaha Community Foundation and the Pottawattamie County Community Foundation (which raised $2.26 million dollars, comprised of public and nonprofit contributions as well as PCCF’s 20% match), are all champions of this growth in generosity.
Every dollar that was given is the beginning of a story. We look forward to sharing just a few of these stories with you over the coming weeks.
