Global Giving's Giving Tuesday Campaign!

By Mervyn Myers | Development Director

Last year Giving Tuesday was a record breaker, raising over $168 million for charitable organizations worldwide. Global Giving, host of our Help UPO Help the DC Homeless project, knows the importance of this day. That's why, this Giving Tuesday Global Giving is offering rewards to allorganizations and all donors ALL DAY LONG!

The Giving Tuesday Campaign starts at12:01am EST and ends at 23:59 pm EST on Tuesday, November 28th, 2017.

These are the Giving Tuesday prizes that Help UPO Help the DC Homeless can share in:  

  • There will be a $75,000 Incentive Fund we will share in depending on how much we raise.
  • There will be 14 Bonus prizes up for grabs for most dollars raised and most donors donating.
  • New recurring donations up to $200 started on Giving Tuesday will receive a 100% Match.

Our Help UPO Help the DC Homeless project provides funding for the many comfort items our Shelter Hotline staff distribute to their homeless customers while carrying out their duties transporting them off the streets to shelters during the extreme cold in the winter and to cooling centers during the sweltering heat in the summer. While doing so they provide their customers with care packages, water, food trays and protective clothing, all funded by your generous donations.

Dear loyal supporters, we are so grateful for your support! You have helped UPO raise more than $15,000 during the past two years to Help UPO Help the DC Homeless.

We hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving, our national day to be thankful for all our blessings we receive. Giving Tuesday is our national day to give back. With all the incentives being offered by Global Giving to match your giving, Giving Tuesday is a great opportunity for you to renew your generous support for Help UPO Help the DC Homeless. Your generous gifts on Giving Tuesday, will provide leverage for the Global Giving incentives to increase our total funds raised Today!

With the frigid cold of the winter months intensifying your support is critical to maintain adequate supplies to distribute to warm the hearts of their unfortunate homeless customers. Please make your Giving Tuesday donation Today!

Thank you in anticipation of your generous support. UPO wishes you a Happy Holiday Season!
