Giving First
November 22, 2022 is Giving First Day!
For the second year in a row, First Stage is participating in the #GivingFirstDay collaboration with 45+ other local nonprofit organizations.
Traditionally, one of the most popular days of charitable giving, Giving Tuesday, falls after the consumer-focused Black Friday and Cyber-Monday. Giving First Day flips that script in support of organizations, like First Stage, that depend on gifts during the holiday season. Before the hustle and bustle of the traditional shopping weekend, consider making a meaningful investment in your community this Giving First Day!
To learn more about the Giving First Day collaboration, please visit www.givingfirstday.org. Consider making a donation to any participating organization to be a part of the #GivingFirstDay movement.
Thanks to a generous gift from Betty Jo and James Nelsen, every gift made to First Stage on November 22, 2022 will be matched dollar for dollar up to $5,000!
