WCCF Gives, Washington County’s communitywide day of giving, will be held from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.

During the event, the Washington County Community Foundation will increase contributions made to the more than 100 participating charities by a percentage of a $100,000 bonus pool. To help create a more level playing field for the participating charities, the WCCF bonus pool will be distributed as follows: 50 percent of the bonus pool by the number of donors and 50 percent by the total dollar amount.

Donors are welcome to give as much as they would like, but $10,000 per donor per charity is the maximum amount eligible for the bonus pool. Donors choosing to contribute to a charity via multiple giving methods (any combination of credit card, check or cash) will only be counted once toward that charity’s donor total.

Since its inception three years ago, WCCF Gives has raised more than $1.7 million in unrestricted grants for participating charities.

The online donation portal on www.wccfgives.org will open at 8 a.m. WCCF Gives contributions via check will be eligible for the bonus pool if they are received at the foundation by 8 p.m. Tuesday. Check-writing donors wishing to support multiple charities are encouraged to submit only one check for the total amount, along with an official WCCF Gives check contribution form, which is available on www.wccfgives.org and at the foundation’s office.
