Do More 24 Delaware Giving Day Opens Registration for 2024 Event
Wilmington, Del. (November 17, 2023) — Do More 24 Delaware, the state’s premier 24-hour charitable giving event, has launched registration for its 2024 event. All Delaware nonprofits are encouraged to sign up and take advantage of the opportunity to earn critical funding.
Organized jointly by United Way of Delaware (UWDE) and Spur Impact, the 24-hour fundraising marathon — to be held March 7-8, 2024 — motivates everyone to become philanthropists and donate to their favorite nonprofit. During the dynamic event, donors give online at DoMore24Delaware.org and registered nonprofits have the chance to earn matching gifts, cash prizes, and grants donated by sponsors from across the state.
“The design of Do More 24 Delaware uniquely amplifies the reach of every donor regardless of how much they give,” said UWDE Chief Operating Officer Dan Cruce. “It’s also proven to be an extremely successful way to spotlight the culture of giving from those that often give, but also for those that give for the first time. In this way, we’re creating new donor bases and teaching our nonprofit partners new ways to grow supporters and revenue.”
The 2023 event generated more than 17,000 individual donations, raising more than $2.3 million for more than 520 nonprofits statewide. Since the March 2020 event, when UWDE and Spur Impact joined forces, Do More 24 Delaware has raised more than $7.2 million for the nonprofits of Delaware.
“The next generation of donors are critical to support the growth and sustainability of our Delaware nonprofits,” said Charlie Vincent, Executive Director of Spur Impact. “We encourage every eligible nonprofit in the state to sign up for Do More 24 Delaware and take advantage of the opportunities we have developed to make this year’s giving day as impactful as possible.”
All 501(c)(3) nonprofits serving Delaware are eligible and encouraged to register at www.domore24delaware.org.
In 2023, Do More 24 Delaware was supported by more than 25 sponsor organizations who donated a combined $600,000. Organizations interested in sponsoring this year’s event are encouraged to reach out to team@domore24de.org.
