Give Local! effort of the Grant County Community Foundation.Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 6th, Give Grandly! Give Local! The Grant County Community Foundation is sponsoring a twenty-four-hour community-giving marathon to support 55 non-profit organizations, banded together as the Southwest New Mexico Non-Profit Coalition, that help make our area a great place to live, work and play. These diverse non-profits cover important gaps in governmental or private sector programs, including health and human services, literacy and work skills, arts and cultural activities, environmental conservation, and animal welfare. Whatever cause you care most about, May 6 is the best day of the year to give back to the community.

Give Grandly's non-profit fair will be held on 7th Street, next to the Silver City Farmers' Market on Saturday, May 6 from 8:30 a.m.- 2:00 p.m. Participating non-profits will have tables with staff or volunteers to highlight their work on behalf of Grant County, take cash and check donations, and answer questions about what they do. Musical entertainment and free food goodies will boost the energy to give. Computers will be set up at the fair for donors to make their tax-deductible donations to their favorite projects or to the Grant County Community Foundation at large.

And anyone anywhere will be able to donate online at www.givegrandly.org from 12:01 am to 11:59 pm on May 6. In addition, a mobile texting app will be available for donating via smart phones and tablets by texting to 41444 and typing in "grandly".

Everyone can be a philanthropist. We all benefit from the many important services that our area non-profits provide.
