One Island Giving Day Set To Raise $1 Million for Local Nonprofits

The Hagedorn Foundation has launched One Island Giving Day. This large fundraising effort hopes to create a stronger Long Island for ALL Long Islanders by raising 1 million for over 100 Long Island-based nonprofits. The virtual event will be hosted at oneislandgiving.org and donations can be made now through October 26th.

“We wanted to create a space where Long Island givers could discover a rich and robust nonprofit community in their towns and neighborhoods,” says Darren Sandow, Executive Director of The Hagedorn Foundation. “Concurrently, we wanted to help bring our nonprofit community into the 21st century of fundraising.”

Money raised will benefit nonprofits working in areas of need, including arts & culture, education, immigration, environment, children & families, healthcare, LGBT, civic engagement, and many others. Donors visiting oneislandgiving.org can search by topics to make a tax-deductible donation to the causes that matter most to them. For those looking to make a more general donation, a “Love Them All” option is also available.

“Our nonprofits fall across all issue areas. You can visit oneislandgiving.org and support the nonprofit of your choice,” says Devon Giordano, Campaign Director for One Island Giving Day, “We hope Long Islanders will make a donation and directly help the communities around them.”

The campaign is coordinated by The Hagedorn Foundation in partnership with area nonprofits. For a complete list of One Island Giving Day’s sponsors please visit oneislandgiving.org.

To donate to One Island Giving Day, please go to oneislandgiving.org now through October 26th. All of the nonprofits involved do all or a significant portion of their work on Long Island.
