Event Overview and Details
On September 19, the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties and UpMobility Foundation will host the fourth annual “Mohawk Valley Gives,” a community-wide giving day to benefit nonprofit organizations serving the Mohawk Valley. The event is proudly presented by Staffworks and M&T Bank.
During last year’s giving day, the community came together and raised more than $5 million benefiting over hundreds of local organizations and we can't wait to see the outcome and growth in year four!
Participating nonprofits can promote their mission, raise unrestricted dollars to support their organization's needs, and be placed in the running for several prizes and incentives that will be awarded throughout the giving day.
Donors will have the opportunity to engage with local causes they care about by sponsoring prizes, starting a fundraiser to share with friends, family, and colleagues, or simply making a donation to one or more participating organizations on the big day!
Whatever part you play, YOU will help us make a difference. Join us on September 19 to show everyone that Mohawk Valley Gives!
