The Louisiana Association of Nonprofit Organizations has already raised more than $16,000 for nonprofits as part of its 24-hour #GiveBR campaign that is being held today in conjunction with #givingtuesday, a global day of giving that comes on the heels of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Donations are being taken online for nonprofits that serve animals, arts and culture, human services, youth development and more.
LANO launched the #GiveBR campaign last year as a way to help the Capital Region’s nonprofits get back on their feet after the August flood, raising about $53,500 from roughly 836 donors. The money supported more than 90 organizations.
As of 10 a.m., about 145 donors had pledged $16,700 to 51 nonprofits. This year’s sponsors include Business Report, Lamar Advertising, inRegister, Guaranty Media, The Advocate, and JCW Productions.
