‘Missoula Gives’ Tops $1 Million in Donations to Non Profits
Case in point.
From Thursday evening through Friday evening, just over 3,800 individuals donated almost $1.1 million to nonprofits through ‘Missoula Gives.’
Marcy Allen, Executive Director of the Missoula Community Foundation made the announcement to KGVO News late Friday.
“We set a really ambitious goal this year and I felt like the nonprofit community really needed us to increase the amount raised and they were really looking for support, especially after this past year and because they ve done so much for our community,” said Allen. “As we started out the day we crept up to four o clock, I think maybe on Friday afternoon, and we started to approach that million dollar mark, which was really exciting. We closed out donations at 7:00 p.m. and we were at $1.1 million.”
