Give a gift that grows on Erie Gives Day

A gift to the Sisters of St. Joseph or our ministries on Erie Gives Day is automatically increased through a generous percentage match!  

August 13, 2019 marks the 9th Erie Gives Day, which was started in 2011 in honor of the Erie Community Foundation’s 75th Anniversary.

During this event that runs for 12 hours between 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on August 13, the Erie Community Foundation will match a percentage of your donation to the Sisters of St. Joseph.

Prorated Match:  The Erie Community Foundation will enhance each donor’s gift by providing a prorated match to each gift made to a nonprofit.

Your Receipt: You will receive an email receipt of your gift; please retain it for tax purposes. Unless you choose to remain anonymous, your donor information will be sent to the appropriate organizations.

When the Nonprofits receive your donation: The organizations will receive your donation plus The Erie Community Foundation’s prorated match later in August at the Erie Gives check distribution day.
