What It Is:• Collaboration between Alliance of Arizona
Nonprofits and Arizona Grantmakers Forum• 24 hours• Completely Online• Goals:

How it Works5) Raise funds and compete for prizes
In 2013, 40 different nonprofits received incentive prizes, totaling $179,500
There were categories for small and large nonprofits to compete in.
Why Arizona Gives Day?• Responding to needs of Alliance Members:
– Public education about nonprofits– #1 challenge of our members: fundraising
• Needs of Philanthropic Community– AZ Ranks 40th for average charitable donations– Reduce pressure on institutional donors
• National Trend of Online Giving Days– Minnesota – launched in 2009 - $70 million to date raised– Colorado – launched in 2010 – over $36 million to date
raised
How much does it cost?• No fee to participate (does take staff time and
internal resources!)• 6.9% transaction fee on each donation
– 4.9% Credit Card Processing and Razoo• Competitors to Razoo: 4.75% – 15%
– 2% Held in fund at Arizona Community Foundation for Arizona Gives Day Campaign
2013 Monetary ResultsStatewide:• 11,176 donations from 8,584 unique donors• 647 nonprofits received donations (80% of 807 nonprofits
registered)• $928,541 contributed for those nonprofitsNorthern Arizona:• About 150 nonprofits• Over $91,000 raised on March 20• 1300 unique donors
When measured per capita (calculated as Arizona Gives Day donations per total residents in the population of a city), wealthy communities like Paradise Valley and Scottsdale rose to the top; but residents of Sedona and Flagstaff were more generous than the statewide average: Sedona gave at a rate of $1.16 per capita, and Flagstaff gave 30 cents per capita, compared to Phoenix and the statewide average, which were both 10 cents per capita.
