May 5 – Giving Tuesday NOW

Help Sustain Washington Revels on #GivingTuesdayNOW

In the face of COVID-19, Washington Revels is working hard to keep our community connected. On this special #GivingTuesday, we’ve partnered with the Catalogue for Philanthropy‘s Give Local Together campaign — and we need your help to reach our $5,000 fundraising goal.

There are two easy ways you can support Revels on May 5:

  • Donate via our GivingTuesday page
    • Give during one of our “Power Hours” on May 5 to help us reach the most individual donors and win a cash prize. Power Hours are from 12-1 PM and 8-9 PM.
    • Is Giving Tuesday not a good day for you? Early Giving is open, so you can make your gift today and help us reach our goal.
  • Email friends and/or post about our fundraiser on social media
    (using our ready-made text & photos!)

Your efforts will help Revels continue bringing people together by sharing traditions virtually when we can’t gather in person — and afterwards when we can!

Sharing Resources

Telling your friends why you support Washington Revels will help us reach so many more people than we ever could on our own. It only takes a minute to copy, paste and customize one of these posts:

  1. @RevelsDC is creating a place for us to come together and share music, stories & traditions together, even when we can’t gather in person. Help me support Washington Revels in connecting people now and when the crisis is behind us. Anything you can donate on #GivingTuesdayNOW will make a real difference: https://www.givelocaltogether.org/team/revelsdc
  2. It’s #GivingTuesdayNOW and I’m raising money for @RevelsDC. They’re creating new interactive celebrations online to help us all stay connected while we’re stuck apart. Can you help Washington Revels reach their goal today? Give here: https://www.givelocaltogether.org/team/revelsdc
  3. I’m so proud of the @RevelsDC community! Even though COVID keeps us apart, Washington Revels is bringing people together with daily online programs, virtual Community Sings & more. Can you help keep them going on #GivingTuesdayNOW? Any amount you donate will help: https://www.givelocaltogether.org/team/revelsdc

Note: @ tags work automatically on Twitter and Instagram. On Facebook you must retype “@RevelsDC” and select “Washington Revels” from the drop-down menu to tag us.
