Day of Giving 2011 a success!

The Pittsburgh Foundation’s Day of Giving last week generated funding for local nonprofits at the rate of nearly $75 per second over the 24-hour giving period. The total raised for charitable organizations in Allegheny and Westmoreland counties was $6,448,448, almost double compared with Pittsburgh’s Day of Giving in 2010.
 
More nonprofits than ever participated in the event – 654 local charities had completed or updated profiles on the Foundation’s PittsburghGives on-line site. And over 96 percent of those received credit card contributions from a total of 13,643 individual donations, up from the 7,788 donations in 2010.
 
Following the completion yesterday of financial reconciliations by Foundation staff, the amount of matching funds for nonprofits in Allegheny County was confirmed at 14.5 cents for every dollar they received. In Westmoreland, which had a separate match pool, the match is 23 cents on the dollar.
