It’s become Rhode Island’s largest single day of giving in support of local nonprofits, and on April 1, 401Gives will return with its largest goal yet… to raise $4 million in only 24-hours. As of today, more than 520 organizations have signed on to participate, exceeding last year’s number, with each creating a page on 401gives.org to inspire donations for their work.
“April 1st has easily become one of my favorite days of the year – it’s an incredible display of generosity by our neighbors who value the vital role nonprofits play in our communities and want to support their work,” said Cortney Nicolato, United Way’s president and CEO. “I know a goal to raise four million is an ambitious one, but knowing how much Rhode Islanders want to help Rhode Islanders, I think we can exceed it!”
401Gives, which pays homage to Rhode Island’s only zip code and the day it’s held, made its first appearance in 2020. Created and powered by United Way and supported by local sponsors, the unified day helps nonprofits share their stories while making it easy for people to donate directly to any of hundreds of local organizations. Participating nonprofits are also searchable at 401gives.org by both community and cause.
