Schuylkill Gives may be over but the generous donations allow us to continue our mission to connect community resources all year!
We want to share a little about the 24-hour giving day.
VISION received $3172 and came in third place for donation dollars received!
We won the first $125 "Power Hour" sponsored by Ascent Wealth Management. Power Hour is awarded to the organization with the most unique donors during a specific hour.
We also won a $50 "Random Acts of Kindness" sponsored by the Schuylkill Area Community Foundation. Random Acts were awarded to organizations with donations received on or closest to a specific time.
While the largest number of donors and donations were received by Schuylkill County residents (Give Where You Live!), VISION also received donations from Utah, Florida, and New Jersey! As well as, Berks and Carbon County.
Why did some give to us and other nonprofits?
"I supported Schuylkill County's VISION and Schuylkill County Conservancy for nature education efforts...Ashland Public Library, Shenandoah Public Library & Mahanoy City Public Library because knowledge is power & we owe it to help lift up these environmental justice zones...And Downtown Shenandoah, Inc., Schuylkill Area Community Foundation & the J.W. Cooper Center in Shenandoah to help build community and support small business growth in an area where health and the economy have been harmed by legacy coal pollution." Leah Z
"I’m proud to support Schuylkill Vision in making Schuylkill County a better place!" Jennifer and Christian H
Our goal going into Gives was to raise $4000 to support programs in our key areas of health & wellness, the importance of community, and quality of life. While we didn't make our goal on the 12th it's not too late to give where you live and help us reach...nay...shatter the goal. Please consider giving through the link below.
